ABC New 7LANSDALE, Pa. — Sister station Action News in Philadelphia has learned that police have found a body amid the search for Bradley Stone, the suspect in the Montgomery County murder spree, and the body has been preliminarily identified as Stone.
The body was found in a wooded area about 200 yards from Stone’s home in Pennsburg, Pa. on Tuesday afternoon.
Sources say Stone is believed to have killed himself. He was found dead on his knees hunched over wearing sand color camouflage.
Sources said it does not appear that he shot himself, but his cause of death is not yet known.
Sources are telling Action News they believe Bradley Stone, the suspect at large after a killing spree that left six people dead across Montgomery County, may have killed himself.
Sources add they are “more likely to find a body than not.”
However, those sources say, they cannot take any chances so they are approaching the search as if Stone is alive, armed and dangerous.
Action News was there as a large police force assembled in Pennsburg, Pa., Stone’s hometown, as the search continued Tuesday. The officers fanned out into town for a thorough search.
The Pennsburg Emergency Management Agency said police will not be entering homes or businesses, but may enter any unsecured buildings or garages.
Pennsburg EMA also said there may be rolling road closures amid the search.
If he is not found in Pennsburg, police will begin a search of wooded areas around the Green Lane reservoir. The thinking is Stone could either be holed up there or went there to take his own life.
Officers were also out in force in Pennsburg on Monday, calling for him over a loudspeaker and used flash-bang devices.
The Upper Perkiomen School District is closed Tuesday due to an ongoing search in Pennsburg.
Meanwhile, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said during a news conference on Tuesday that a search for Stone in Doylestown, Bucks County, has ended.
This, after a source told Action News that resources were “wasted” after police swarmed Doylestown on Monday night after a man reported a carjacking attempt and gave a description that matched Bradley Stone.
The source tells Action News that “a lot of resources were wasted for alleged carjacking in Doylestown that may not have happened.” Police are seeking more information and witnesses.
It was at 7:09 p.m. when a man, claiming to be the victim of the carjacking attempt, told police he was approached by a man armed with a knife, wearing camouflage fatigues.
Authorities had earlier said Stone may be wearing fatigues.
The alleged victim said the man in camo demanded his car keys. Police say the alleged victim, who was legally carrying a gun, opened fire as the suspect ran away.
Police responded in force and put the complex on lockdown. No one was found.
The report led to a limited lockdown Tuesday for the Pennridge School District.
The manhunt for Stone began Monday morning after authorities began following a trail of death that eventually led them to six bodies and a critically wounded teenager in three different locations in Montgomery County.
All six victims have a familial relationship with Stone.

They are making it sound like he performed Seppuku (also called hara-kiri). He was found on his knees, slumped over, with massive cuts in his abdomen, and a knife near the body.
However, our local news just said that he shot himself. Wrong. LOL He had no gunshot wounds.
“Sources said it does not appear that he shot himself, but the cause of death is unknown.” Cause of death is death because. I don’t think this guy was sane at the time so, say what you want, he had obviously thrown his marbles out the window a mile back.
Just worked with a friend of the 17 year old survivor. This is verified imho.
Unfortunately this nut stacked the deck against us for those who base their knee-jerk emotional reactions that the commie joos have been falsifying for so long. This will get them a lot of mileage because they won’t have to hide anything this time.
Perhaps he was shot while trying to steal a mans car huh? carjacking the wrong car can be fatal!
He did try to carjack a farmer who fired multiple shots with a .22 pistol but no hits
Does OSHA allow “public servants” to operate firearms without eye protection? Sorry always studying the enem… I mean police, pics for SOPs.
Just sent in an article claiming he died of “self-inflicted cuts”. Whaddayaknow. ANOTHER suicide.
Check it out, NTB…
