A key witness in a casino fraud case, whose body was found floating in a Pennsylvania creek over the weekend, had apparently died of an accidental drowning, the Luzerne County Coroner’s office said on Tuesday. The culprits were Robert Pellegrini, Mark Heltzel, and a beverage server named Rochelle Poszeluznyj, with whom Crane was romantically involved, the Citizens’ Voice reported. In January 2016, Pellegrini, Heltzel, and Poszeluznyj were charged with theft and related charges in connection with the foiled scheme. Pellegrini was sentenced to 32 months in prison, Heltzel was given an 18-month term and Poszeluznyj was sentenced to two-years’ probation, the Citizens’ Voice reported. Crane’s body was found by three passers-by Saturday around 4:30 p.m. One witness told the Citizens’ Voice that Crane’s head showed signs of a wound.
