Lower Towamensing Township, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 cash reward for information that helps solve the killing of a Carbon County man found stabbed inside his mobile home earlier this month.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Troop N – Lehighton Barracks, the victim, 45-year-old Amandus Balliet, was discovered dead in his rented mobile home on Wintergreen Road in Lower Towamensing Township, Carbon County. Investigators say Balliet lived alone.
State police say Balliet was stabbed multiple times and was killed sometime between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Monday, September 12, 2004. The case remains unsolved more than two decades later, and detectives continue to review leads and evidence.
Authorities are now renewing their call for public assistance, stressing that even small details could be critical. Anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area that afternoon, knew Balliet personally, or has information related to the homicide is urged to contact investigators.
Tips can be submitted directly to PSP Lehighton Station at 610-681-1850, anonymously through PSP Tips Toll Free at 1-800-472-8477, or online at www.p3tips.com. Police say callers may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest, solves the crime, or helps locate a wanted person.
State police emphasized that reward money is not taxpayer-funded, but instead comes from forfeiture assets. Information released is accurate as of the release date and may be updated as the investigation continues.
Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
