Summary

Peter Manfredonia was a University of Connecticut student who committed a series of violent crimes in May 2020 that led to a multi-state manhunt. On May 22 in Willington, Connecticut, he attacked two men with a machete, killing 62-year-old Ted DeMers and intensely injuring another. Peter then fled to the home of a stranger, named Donald Hipsky. He then held Donald hostage int he basement of his own home while stealing food, firearms, and Donald's vehicle. Two days later, in Derby, Connecticut, Peter killed 23-year-old Nicholas Eisele, a former classmate, and kidnapped Eisele’s girlfriend and forced to drive at gunpoint all the way to New Jersey. The woman was able to leave the car unharmed and call police but when police arrived, Peter was gone again. Peter fled through several states before being captured on May 27, 2020, in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 2023, he pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in Connecticut and was later sentenced to life in prison. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
