State police said Stoltzfus and several other members of the Pagans motorcycle gang abducted Sheckler and her boyfriend, Glenn W. Eckert, 20, of Robesonia, from a parked car at a lookout point on Skyline Drive on Mount Penn.
Investigators said the men took turns raping Sheckler and later killed her and Eckert in Dreamland Park, a shuttered amusement park on Pricetown Road in Ruscombmanor Township.
The motorcycle gang had a clubhouse at the park, and some of them were staying there at the time of the slayings.
Sheckler was choked and struck on the head with a large rock, according to court testimony. Eckert was shot.
The only other person convicted in the case was Robert J. Martinolich, of Selden, N.Y., who is serving a life sentence at the state prison at Laurel Highlands in Somerset.
Martinolich, who is 63 years old, was convicted of the fi rstdegree murder of Eckert.
Testimony during the trials in 1970 revealed that about a half-dozen members of the motorcycle gang spent the night at the Kutztown Fair and then drove around the city looking for women."
