State Police are seeking a murder suspect from Connecticut who was last seen in East Stroudsburg.

State police at Troop N shared a tweet from Connecticut State Police who are searching for 23-year-old Peter Manfredonia, the University of Connecticut senior suspected in the killings of a 62-year-old man in Willington, Connecticut, on Friday, a 23-year-old man in Derby, Connecticut, Sunday morning, and the abduction of a woman from the Derby crime scene, according to the Hartford Courant.

Police said Manfredonia, who was last seen in the area of East Stroudsburg, shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday, may be armed with pistols and shotguns they say he stole during a home invasion in Willington.
