Bond Set For Triple-Shootings Suspect

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction

Bond is set at 2 million dollars for the man suspected in the deaths of two people, shooting and wounding another man, then pistol-whipping two other people. 31-year-old Jeffrey Holsinger was arrested earlier this week in Galloway.  He did not enter a plea. Highland County Sheriff's investigators say Holsinger pistol-whipped, tied up and robbed, Steven Mottie Senior at his Greenfield home on July 4th. Investigators say 35-year-old Steven Mottie Junior and 79-year-old Paul Robertson were found dead in their homes. Robertson’s friend, 67-year-old Dawn Wilson, was severely beaten. 23-year-old Jessie Lytle, was kidnapped and shot and dumped along a Ross Country road. Lytle was treated at a local hospital.  Holsinger is due back in court on July 13th. Investigators say Holsinger was on parole after being released last August from the Ross Correctional Institution. Authorities suspect robbery was the motive.
