Greenspan's Body Count: Troy and Michele Fogel

It's a Greenspankill in Bushkill:
BUSHKILL, Pa.—Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say the shooting deaths of a man and woman have been ruled a murder-suicide.

Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek says 39-year-old Michele Fogel was killed by her husband, 43-year-old Troy Fogel, who then killed himself. Police said a relative found their bodies just before 7:30 p.m. Monday in their Bushkill Township home.

According to court records, the couple had been accused of defaulting on their mortgage and their home was up for a sheriff's sale.

Looks like they bought the place at 517 Roberts Road in 2001 for $226,000, and it's worth $363,000 now, so most likely they hit the home ATM pretty hard a few years ago.

UPDATE: Correctamundo! They sucked out another $120,000 over the purchase price and had been living rent-free for more than a year:
Troy and Michele Fogel were struggling financially and their Roberts Road home was listed for a June 11 sheriff's sale because they had not been making payments on their nearly $350,000 mortgage, court records show.

[....]

In September, the couple was hit with a foreclosure filing from their lender, Household Finance Consumer Discount Co., which said they hadn't paid their nearly $2,300-a-month mortgage since March 1, 2009, court records show.
Household Finance -- that's the subprime lender that almost took down HSBC.


Greenspan's Body Count stands at 136.
