Parents Shot To Death - Daughter Missing Nov 14, 2005, 01:55 AM PST
Police investigating a double murder at a home in Lititz, Pa., are searching for the couple's 14-year-old daughter and have issued an arrest warrant for an 18-year-old believed to be her boyfriend.
Michael and Cathryn Borden, both 50, were killed shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday in their home in Warwick Township, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
The couple's 9-year-old son, David, the youngest of five children, had fled to the home of neighbors, who called police, said Lititz Police Chief William Seace. An older daughter still living at home and two adult sons were also safe, he said, but Kara Beth Borden, 14, was gone.
"We don't know whether she has been abducted or is willingly a part of this," Seace said, but he said until police can determine otherwise, they are operating on the assumption Kara was kidnapped.
Pennsylvania State Police have issued an Amber Alert for Kara Borden, who is described as 5'1", 100 pounds, with brown hair and blonde highlights. She was last seen at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13th, at her family's home on Royal Drive in Warwick Township, wearing a black sweat shirt with "Pillar" across the front, blue jeans and black sneakers, in a red Volkswagen Jetta with Pennsylvania license plate EHH0994.
Authorities say anyone with information about Kara Borden's whereabouts should immediately contact the police by calling 911.
Authorities Sunday night issued an arrest warrant for David G. Ludwig, 18, on two counts of criminal homicide, one count of recklessly endangering and one count of kidnapping.
Seace said information from the other children indicated Ludwig shot both victims, and he reportedly abducted Kara at gunpoint.
"We think they're boyfriend and girlfriend," Seace said. "The young girl was out during the night, came home, and her parents confronted her. From what we understand, he came to the house."
Stephanie Mannon, a 16-year-old friend who had worked with Ludwig, said he and Kara had been seeing each other secretly.
"Their parents didn't approve of them being together" because of the age difference, she said. "It wasn't because he was a shady character, because he wasn't."
The Borden family had lived on the quiet street of two-story homes for several years, said neighbor Tod Sherman, 47. Mike Borden worked for a printing company, and the children were home-schooled, he said.
Sherman said the family knew Ludwig through a home-schooling network and he had occasionally seen the teen at their home.

First of all, with Kara we KNOW she had a boyfriend. Her friends talked about him they knew Kara was seeing him. There's no doubt here. We don't know that about Lizzie. So far no one has shown that she and Anthony were in any way shape or form boyfriend and girlfriend. Second, with this case you again know there was a conflict between the boyfriend and the parents. Things for the most part are clear cut. The girl was only fourteen years old and to young for the guy. He also kept her out to the ridiculous hour of 5:30 in the morning. So, again we have facts here to look at. We're not given any logical reason why Andrew would have objected to David marrying Lizzie.With the Anthony story were vaguely told he was "wild". Whatever that means. To top it off, some contradict that view of him.
