From February 2013:

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/n...-death-of-father-stepmom/stories/201302280514

Abbott, 42, a former New Jersey landscaper, pleaded no contest Tuesday to killing Kenneth, 65, and Celeste Abbott, 55, whose remains were found scattered on their sprawling, bucolic plot of land in Brady, near Slippery Rock in July 2011.

In a quiet courtroom at the Butler County Courthouse on Wednesday, a judge decided before a roomful of the couple's relatives that Abbott should go to prison for 35 to 80 years...

Abbott claimed he stood to inherit all of the couple's possessions, including their expansive plot of land. After he was charged, Kenneth Abbott's sister, Kathleen Neal, asked the court to block Colin Abbott's access to his father's accounts, alleging that the son forged his father's signature on a check to transfer $499,000 from one bank account to another, then withdrew the money from the latter account, among other things.
