This is local to me and I was surprised to hear about it on the news this evening. To be fair the election cycle has me avoiding local news the last few months, but I am really surprised the thread isn't more active. I am autistic and have two autistic children so it strikes near and dear for me. Just so terribly sad and brutal. All of my deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones.

Some updates:

Taylyn Edwards of Johnston pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges of first-degree murder and felony kidnapping last month in the death of 19-year-old Hayden Garreffa.

At a hearing on Wednesday, the Indiana County district attorney said Edwards received life in prison without the possibility of parole, which is the mandatory sentence for first-degree murder, and five to 10 years for the kidnapping charge.

Police said Hayden Garreffa's body was found in Brush Valley Township two days after he was reported missing from his grandmother's East Wheatfield Township home.

Investigators said eight suspects showed up at Garreffa's home and forced him into a van. He was stabbed to death minutes later, police said
