Cold Case Killer Still Eludes Justice, Pennsylvania State Police Seek New Leads
Seventeen years have passed since the gruesome murder of Gary Redner, a senior executive at the Redner's grocery chain. The case has gone cold, but Pennsylvania State Police are now re-examining evidence and offering a $5,000 reward for any credible tips that may help identify Redner's killer.
Redner, 55, was found brutally beaten outside his home in Berks County on March 9, 2008. An autopsy revealed he died from blunt force trauma to the head. Initially, investigators were unsure if the attack was random or targeted, sparking a long-standing mystery that has left many questions unanswered.
As part of their ongoing investigation, state police have been re-examining Redner's final hours before his death. According to police reports, Redner had stopped at Ganly's Pub & Restaurant just less than a mile from his home on the night of March 9, 2008. There were no reported incidents or trouble at the establishment that evening.
However, investigators now believe that Redner was confronted by his attacker in his own driveway and then again outside his neighbor's home as he attempted to flee through a wooded area next to his property. Inside Redner's wallet, police found $270 in cash.
The case has been reopened, and state police are urging anyone with information about Gary Redner's killing to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with credible tips can call the PSP tip line at (800) 472-8477 or submit an anonymous tip online.
Redner's family has been vocal in their desire for justice in his death. His brother, Richard, who passed away last year without seeing resolution in his brother's case, was a key figure in keeping the investigation alive. The Redner's grocery chain, now with over 60 locations across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware, remains committed to solving this cold case.
For decades, Redner's murder has left many questions unanswered. Will this new wave of leads bring closure to his family? Only time will tell.

. The police are trying again but I gotta wonder why they're bringing this case back now. Was there a new lead or just someone wanting to do the right thing? Either way, hope they find some kinda answers for his family 
. It's not fair that his brother passed away last year without seeing justice served 
. The $5k reward is a good start but I bet it'll take more than that to bring closure to them 
. Fingers crossed this time around they get the guy and can finally put some peace back into their lives 
.
hope they get those new leads and catch whoever did this to gary - justice for gary & his fam 
The police are trying their best to reopen the case and get new leads, but it's just not fair that they can't catch a break. 
They really need people's help to solve this mystery. If you live in PA or know someone who does, please consider calling the tip line or submitting an anonymous tip online. 
Every little bit helps! 
. It's been 17 years and the system is still failing Gary Redner's family. I think we need to rethink our approach to cold cases, maybe it's time for a new team or a fresh set of eyes on the investigation. We can't just give up on justice like that. I'm calling for more resources and a bigger reward, $10,000 at least 
. This is not just about Gary Redner's family, it's about ensuring that we have a safe community for everyone. The fact that the killer was in a public place like Ganly's Pub & Restaurant and didn't get caught back then is just mind-boggling. What were they doing? Why didn't someone step in to help? It's all part of a bigger picture, I think we need to look into the systemic issues here too 
. Can we really expect justice to be served if we're not even giving it our best shot?
. Fingers crossed! 
their loved one is still a mystery & no justice seems in sight 
5k reward might give some new leads but what about DNA proof or witnesses? 
these cold cases are hard to crack, hope state police find someone who can finally bring answers 
. I hope this new wave of leads brings some closure to them... it's been way too long 
.
. They're re-examining the evidence and everything, but I feel like they should've done that sooner too 
. It's just so sad for Gary's family, especially his brother who passed away last year without seeing justice served 
.
. It's so frustrating that we can't get more answers from the guy who might have done this to him.
.
Redner was an innocent guy who just got caught in the middle of something bad 
his family deserves so much more justice than just a $5k reward 
what they really need is closure 
The fact that the killer was so scared of him, that they had 2 confront him TWICE in his own driveway... it just shows how cowardly they are 
. Every tiny bit counts, right? 
.
hoping to find some new clues 
or a suspicious car 
driving away from the scene 
he had a big fam 
and they're still waiting for answers 
RIP Richard 
with a $5k reward 
and give them what they need 
to solve the case 
let's hope Redner's fam gets some closure soon 
the fact that he was mugged in his own driveway and then again outside a neighbor's house is wild... not sure how much more evidence can be uncovered at this point... hope the family gets some sort of answer soon
