Pastor William 'Bill' Schonemann, 76, was discovered dead in a gruesome scene at his New River home. His death, ruled a homicide, has left the community in shock. Investigators have not disclosed specific details about the motive or suspects in the case, though they noted the presence of significant injuries. Despite reassurances from authorities about community safety, residents expressed fear over the incident, given the historical tranquility of New River. Schonemann was a well-respected leader at the New River Bible Chapel for 25 years, and his family seeks privacy during this difficult time.
We will miss the loving and kind man he was, and we ask for privacy while we grieve our great loss.
It's just something that we are just not used to doing. Everybody is just, until we know what's going on, we don't know if it was a family member, or, we don't know what, who could do this to him.
