Lisa was a real estate agent in the area. Neighbors told the outlet that she was a kind person who was very involved in the community.

"She was just a good person. She would always send us a gift every once and a while and check in with us, see how we're doing. It's just really heartbreaking," neighbor John Niles said of Lisa

Roger fled before deputies arrived at the scene.

According to the Loudoun County Sheriff, “After a multi-state search spanning Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, he was taken into custody at approximately 3:15 p.m. by the Pennsylvania State Police in Bedford, Pennsylvania where he is being held in pending extradition to Virginia.
