Inside his house, investigators said they saw multiple holes through a wall within Eroh's bathroom, and the holes granted a line of sight from Eroh's house into the victim's home. State police believe Eroh used the holes to look inside the victim's residence.
Eroh has been charged with homicide, aggravated assault, and other related offenses. He remains in the Carbon County Correctional facility after being denied bail.
