Pender, who now lives in Austin, Texas, is accused of notarizing forged signatures of her stepfather on the deed to his house and the title to his trailer, police said.

Pender's mother, Virginia Hayden, 66, of Dover Township, used the deed with the allegedly forged signature to buy her husband's share of the house for $1, Northern York County Regional Police Sgt. John Migatulski wrote in the charging documents. Virginia Hayden later sold the house for $135,000. Virginia Hayden also allegedly sold the trailer using the forged title, telling the buyer that her husband had been in a motorcycle accident and no longer needed the trailer...

A trooper who went to check on him at the address Via gave was greeted by Virginia Cooksey, Virginia Hayden's granddaughter. She told the trooper that her grandmother had lived at an apartment at the address, but her grandfather had never lived there. She told the trooper that she hadn't seen her grandfather in seven years, police said.

As police continued to review records, they found that the last time Thomas had been seen by a doctor was September 27, 2011, and that he had an appointment scheduled for October 25. That appointment was canceled by Virginia, who said that her husband was no longer in the area.

Police obtained records from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that showed that Virginia had bought a .357 caliber handgun from a store in York on October 2, 2011. When police asked her where the gun was, she told police that she had sold the gun through a dealer, but there are no ATF records of a sale.

Police executed a search warrant on Virginia’s home and found a lock box that contained Thomas’s driver’s license, Social Security and Medicare cards along with his passport.
 
He was last seen in 2011 by his wife, Virginia Hayden, but no one knew he was missing until his estranged daughter contacted police in 2017 and asked them to check on her father.

Virginia Hayden told police her husband “had left Pennsylvania one night in 2011 to seek medical treatment for ALS,” according to a police affidavit, but gave different versions of his departure. A sealed, plastic Foodsaver bag “containing blood-stained items, skin and hair” that had been found in Dover Township in 2012 was linked by DNA testing to Thomas Hayden, but police have not determined what happened to him.

She also had a FoodSaver vacuum-sealing device. Officials got DNA samples from Hayden’s two brothers, and sent them out for testing. Months later, a crime lab confirmed with overwhelming certainty that the scalp in the plastic bag had belonged to a sibling of theirs.


Police turned their attention to the couple’s condo, which Virginia had sold for $135,000 in November 2014. The deed seemed to indicate that in November 2013, Thomas had sold the house to her for $1. If true, that would have meant that the transaction took place two years after the last time that anyone could remember seeing him.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to six to 20 years in prison on charges in the disappearance and apparent death of her husband more than a decade ago — charges based in part on a partial scalp found in a bag along a road.

Hours before jury selection was to begin in her York County trial last week, 71-year-old Virginia Hayden pleaded no contest to third-degree murder and tampering with public records. A no-contest plea spares a defendant from having to acknowledge guilt but is treated as a guilty plea by the court.
