Forks Township, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are renewing calls for public assistance this week as investigators continue working to solve the 1992 homicide of Robert Freeman Sr., offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest or resolution in the decades-old case.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, Troop M, Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit, Freeman’s body was discovered on January 25, 1992, in a cornfield off Uhler Road in Forks Township, Northampton County, just outside Easton.
