A beloved Arizona pastor was found slain with his body posed and hands pinned to a wall in his New River home last week.
The unsolved murder of William Schonemann has left the community reeling in grief and concern since April 28.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to release a cause of death, but the sheriff’s office suggested the crime involved foul play.
The office added that there were “specific and unique circumstances to this case” without providing further details.
The 76-year-old Navy veteran was known to many as Bill and was a beloved pastor with a “positive impact on people everywhere he went,” his son said.
“I’m just wondering, was it some random person? Was it someone he knows?” friend Eric Archer said.
“I’m just curious what happened and why. I just can’t imagine someone hurting Bill, in any matter for any reason.”
