A Pennsylvania woman who encouraged her parents to join her in a suicide pact was found dead last week holding a sword inscribed with the words, “The Sword of the Lord” on its blade.

Police found Morgan Daub, 26, behind her parents’ Loman Avenue home in West Manchester Township with the sword in her left hand and an empty gun holster on the right side of her belt on the morning of Jan. 25 after neighbors saw the bodies and called 911. Her parents’ bodies were found nearby.

Police also found a “Living Will” taped to the inside of the sliding glass door of the 2000 block of Loman Avenue signed by Deborah, 59, and James, 62, Daub, according to the search warrant return. The document said the trio did not want any resuscitation efforts if they were found while still alive.

“At the bottom of the note are three distinctly unique signatures for each name listed about followed by a date of 1/24/2023 written beneath the names,” wrote Joseph Staley, an officer with West Manchester, on the search warrant.

James and Deborah’s deaths were ruled homicides by York County Coroner Pamela Gay, while Morgan’s death was ruled a suicide.

Police have not said who killed whom and in what order. All three died from gunshot wounds to the head. There were no cutting injuries, even though the daughter had a sword, officials said.

Police seized the black and silver “Sword of the Lord”, a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm pistol, a Sig Sauer AR-15, and 9mm shell casings and bullet fragments from the scene. They also found suicide notes, a note documenting important financial information, notes from a Bible and notes in a trash can.

The day before the three died, Morgan uploaded a 6-second video to YouTube with no sound that contained a single frame with the words: “FOLLOW ME AS I FOLLOW CHRIST!!!”

The sword was around 2.5 to 3 feet long, according to West Manchester Township Police Chief John Snyder. He said it was made of metal and looked decorative, like something someone would hang on their wall.

Additionally, police found a document called “Cooper’s Dog Letter,” showing the family left instructions regarding the care of their dog and drugged him so he would not bite first responders.

The warrant detailed a handgun was not located during initial observations of the crime scene due to the snowfall that morning. However, later, officers located the handgun in the backyard.

The Daubs were a reclusive family that receded further from the neighborhood during the COVID-19 pandemic, neighbors previously told PennLive.

Deborah wrote in a note found at the home that Morgan complained of persistent audible hallucinations and had suicidal thoughts. The police chief told reporters Monday that her parents didn’t want their daughter to die alone, and agreed to the pact.
