Pennsylvania State police are searching for a 14-year-old girl reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint after her parents were murdered.
Authorities have issued an Amber Alert for Kara Beth Borden, who was last seen at 8 a.m. in Warwick Township, Lancaster County.
Police reported that the teen was taken by 18-year-old David G. Ludwig. Authorities say he was last seen driving a red Volkswagen Jetta with Pennsylvania registration E-H-H-0-9-9-4.
Borden is described as white, 5-feet-1, and 100 pounds, with brown hair with blond highlights. She was last seen wearing a black sweat shirt with "Pillar" across the front, blue jeans and black sneakers.
Ludwig is a white male with brown hair and brown eyes.
State police are urging people in the following counties or cities to be on the lookout for Ludwig: Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, Perry, Juniata, York, Cumberland, Mifflin, Snyder, Northumberland, Franklin, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, Philadelphia, Delaware, Schuykill, Lehigh and Northamption counties.
It was not immediately clear how authorities discovered the killings.
Neighbor John Hohman, 40, said he first noticed an ambulance on the street around 8:15 a.m. About 25 minutes later, he said he got a phone call from Lancaster emergency management officials telling his family to stay inside.
Looking out the window, Hohman said he saw teams of police running through the neighborhood; around 10:15 a.m., authorities told him to go into his basement and wait there until further notice.
"We were really upset; we didn't know what going on," Hohman said.
Hohman said Borden, who played soccer, occasionally babysat for him. "She's a very nice girl," Hohman said.
Neighbor Tod Sherman, 47, has lived in the quiet suburban development for 12 years and said that Borden was one of five children.
The Borden family has lived on the street in a tan, two-story house for several years, he said. Kara's father, Mike Borden, worked for a printing company, said Sherman.
"He was very smart and focused, a nice guy. They were super people," Sherman said. "They were just a fine family."
The Bordens home-schooled their children and knew Ludwig through a home-schooling network, Sherman said.
Sherman's son Tyler, 11, played with Kara's youngest brother, David. Tyler said he sometimes saw Ludwig at the Borden house, frequently dressed in black.
"I didn't find him to be very friendly," said Tyler.
The eldest two Borden children, both male, are in their 20s and no longer live at home, Sherman said. The whereabouts of David Borden and Kara's older sister, both of whom still live at home, were not immediately clear.
The Amber Alert system uses a state's emergency notification system to give broadcasters a description of a missing child and a suspect's vehicle. The information is also displayed on electronic highway signs.
It is named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped and killed in Arlington, Texas. It is used in 47 states.

I think this situation qualifies him as a little more than "shady".
Please tell me your secret. How do you manage to find the trolls so easily?
Do you have some kind of troll detector installed?
Then you didn't read about Taylor Behl. She was a 17y/o myspace blogger who met her end by a 34y/o myspace/livejournal blogger. There was a lot of hate messages posted to him by users as well.
Not especially.
Usually, someone runs across them and I either get a verbal heads up from over my shoulder, a FReepmail, or I blunder across them and go, "Oh my."
Usually I figure that if I've found them, the mods must know about them as well since I've seen trolls get found by the mods immediately before I got there, at the same time as, or shortly after I post to the troll.
I have the worlds most unfortunate timing.
:-/
this says she is 17 years old.
Looks like Bill Gate's high school photo.
MM, you dumbass, try reading the article. They already know who the perp is, and he's white.
I usually don't find them until after they have been banned and 300 posts.....after all of the fun has been had.
They just crashed the car in Indiana...
Live on MSNBC
Fox News just said they've been spotted on I-80 in Lockhaven (?) PA. Boy cut his hair and girl with ponytail.
That means she's still alive. Thank God.
They caught him.
THEY HAVE CAPTURED BOTH OF THEM
Two teens sought after killings spotted
LITITZ, Pa. - A missing 14-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man who allegedly murdered her parents were spotted at a central Pennsylvania truck stop Monday morning, but were not caught, police said.
A worker at the truck stop told The Associated Press the girl appeared to have been crying.
Police said David G. Ludwig killed 14-year-old Kara Beth Borden's parents, Michael F. and Cathryn Lee Borden, early Sunday after they and their daughter argued about her curfew. The shootings took place at the family's home in Warwick Township, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
Lititz Police Chief William Seace said Monday afternoon that Ludwig and Kara Beth, who is believed to be Ludwig's girlfriend, had been "positively identified" at a truck stop in Lamar, about 90 miles from the Borden home.
Amanda Workman, the shift manager at the Subway sandwich shop at the truck stop, said she sold the couple an Italian sub at about 9 a.m. Monday, and thought they matched a radio description she had heard earlier...
LOL, sometimes I get in late as well.
Murrymom is a forum pet.
She's a token liberal kept in chains to remind everyone why liberals are bad.
The greasy sheepdog-haired cowardly POS is sitting in handcuffs on the grass.
I see him there on the ground by the car, but not her.
ABC just reported that he has been CAPTURED!!!
