 WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. - An investigation is ongoing after a man was able to remove his monitoring bracelet without police knowing, kidnapped his wife whom he abused in the past, and allegedly killed her in a remote area of Washington County. 'She was scared to death of him': Father of woman... Assistant District Attorney Kristin Clingerman filed an emergency motion asking to keep Kevin Ewing in jail by increasing his bail. Kevin Ewing was previously accused of holding Tierne Ewing hostage for 12 days and torturing her in July, when police said he repeatedly beat and burned her. He was released from jail on $100,000 bail set by Washington County Magisterial District Judge Mark Wilson. "The judge is not permitted to punish the defendant through high bail for the purpose of giving high bond and keeping him in jail," DiLucente said. But at a hearing on the motion, Judge Gary Gilman kept Ewing's bail at $100,000 while requiring GPS and home monitoring, essentially to put him on "full lockdown" while out of jail.

 PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man free on bond while awaiting trial on charges he abducted and beat his wife while holding her captive for nearly two weeks earlier this summer kidnapped her again Tuesday and is on the run, state police said. Around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, police converged on Walnut Valley Road in West Finley Township, where they believed Kevin Ewing was armed and hiding in a barn. Her estranged husband and accused abductor, 47-year-old Kevin Ewing, was found alive with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The medical examiner said an autopsy is pending, as Kevin Ewing remained on a ventilator until a decision about organ donation was made. David Heckman of the Pennsylvania State Police said police found a .22-caliber firearm, a sleeping bag and other camping items on the second floor of the barn, indicating Kevin Ewing planned to be there for a long time. He threatened her all the time," said Tierne Ewing's father, Richard Kopko. There was no sign of either Ewing at the time. Trooper Stefani Lucas said he removed an ankle bracelet that was being used to monitor him after that arrest before leaving with the victim early Tuesday morning. Brenda McCullough, whose own daughter grew up with Tierne, said her heart breaks for Tierne’s parents, children and her two young grandchildren. Photos Kevin Ewing and Tierne Ewing 
 
 According to a criminal complaint filed against him, the house where the kidnapping happened belongs to Kevin Ewing's mother, and despite the recent violence, Tierne Ewing had been staying with him there in recent days. Ewing's mother told police that Kevin ordered Tierne to pack bags full of clothing and food, then forced her into a vehicle before handing his mother the ankle bracelet that he had cut off, according to the affidavit. Police said from June 26 to July 8, Kevin Ewing held Tierne hostage, brutally beating her with a hammer and firearm; keeping a cord around her neck; duct-taping her mouth and hands; and repeatedly telling her he was going to kill her and kill himself. Tierne Ewing, 48, had told authorities he beat and pistol-whipped her, spat on her, kept her hands tied with wire and branded her legs with a piece of hot metal, according to a criminal complaint charging him with kidnapping, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, false imprisonment and other crimes. Tierne Ewing escaped when her husband sent her into a credit union to withdraw money and she told tellers she was being held against her will and feared that her husband would kill her, the complaint said. Bank officials called police, who found Kevin Ewing in the parking lot with a rifle, handgun and a knife, the complaint said. "July wasn't the worst. "They put a bracelet on him and she's six miles away. Washington County District Attorney Eugene Vittone said his office had asked a judge to keep Ewing in jail after he unexpectedly posted bail last month. Prosecutors were concerned because of the seriousness of the charges, Vittone said.
– A Pennsylvania man who was unexpectedly released on bail after being charged with kidnapping and beating his wife kidnapped her again, police say—and this time, she did not escape. Police say 48-year-old Tierne Ewing was found dead late Tuesday after being kidnapped for a second time by estranged husband Kevin Ewing, 47, WTAE reports. He forced his wife into a car at gunpoint Monday night, saying he "should have killed the victim and himself the first time," police say. The abandoned car was discovered Tuesday morning, sparking a massive search. Police tell WPXI that they heard gunshots as they approached a barn in West Finley Township late Tuesday. They found Tierne Ewing dead and Kevin Ewing injured from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was flown to a hospital for treatment. The AP reports that Ewing was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, and other crimes in July after his wife told police he had kept her captive for almost two weeks, during which he beat and pistol-whipped her, spat on her, and branded her legs with a piece of hot metal. She said she escaped after he sent her into a credit union to withdraw money and she alerted the tellers. Cops found him in the bank's parking lot with a rifle, handgun, and a knife. The local DA says he wanted Ewing to stay in jail but a judge freed him July 11 after he posted $100,000 bail. Ewing was ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet to confine him to his home—but probation officials say that even though the court could have called for a bracelet that provides GPS information, that didn't happen in this case.
