A wellness check at a Beverly Road home in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania on January 17, 2023, turned into a homicide investigation after the bodies of 72-year-old Miriam Beck and her 73-year-old husband, Reid, were found inside. Both victims had single gunshot wounds to the head and were discovered in various stages of dismemberment; a chainsaw was found near one of the bodies. Several firearms were also recovered in the residence.
Their 43-year-old daughter, Verity Beck, who lived with the couple, was taken into custody at the scene. Prosecutors later charged her with first- and third-degree murder, alleging she shot both parents and dismembered their bodies; a possible motive mentioned in charging documents involved alleged theft from the parents and a confrontation over money. Miriam Beck was a retired school nurse remembered in reports for her kindness and compassion.
Does anyone have information about the Beck family, their neighborhood, or events in the weeks before January 17, 2023?
