Also in the home was a 1-year-old child, who was unharmed.The investigation revealed that the original call concerning the death of a woman was made by a relative of Jones, who is the father of the child in the home. The relative had been contacted by Steven Lundy, who told them to go to the Tobyhanna address to get the child inside.Upon the arrival of relatives, the body of McGee was found and 911 was called.Police said their investigation determined that earlier in the morning, arguing was heard coming from the home followed by two possible gunshots.
