HOLLAND, PENNSYLVANIA — William Ingram, 51, was sentenced this week to 30 to 64 years in state prison after pleading guilty to killing his mother, Dolores Ingram, 82, inside her condominium and leaving her body concealed under furniture and household items, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
Surveillance Footage Tracked Movements at the Condo
The case traces back to the early morning of June 15, 2024, when a neighbor reported being awakened by loud banging. Surveillance video later reviewed during the investigation captured Ingram running out of the residence shirtless at 1:43 a.m., then returning toward the walkway moments later. Later footage showed him leaving again around 10 a.m., as outlined during court proceedings.
Trip to Washington, D.C. Raised Alarms
Court filings describe Ingram leaving the area in his mother’s white Honda Civic and driving to Washington, D.C. A probable-cause affidavit referenced during the case includes incriminating statements attributed to him during contact with law enforcement and medical staff, including admissions about his mother’s death.
Welfare Check Led to Discovery of the Victim
On June 16, Washington, D.C. police contacted Bucks County authorities and requested a welfare check at the condominium on Beacon Hill Drive. When responders assessed the property, blood was observed on a windowsill. An unlocked window was opened, and blood was visible inside along with furniture in disarray.
Inside, Dolores Ingram’s body was found under a pile of items that included household materials and a futon-style couch. Court records described the victim as cold to the touch when discovered. The death was classified as a homicide, and the injuries were described as consistent with severe trauma.
