McKEES ROCKS, Pa. — The pastor of a local church is looking for a place to live after a contractor took off without finishing the roofing project he was hired for.

Channel 11′s Renee Wallace talked to the pastor, who said he gave the suspect two checks, each worth $4,500.

The first check was for materials ahead of the roof repair, the second was given when the work started.

Tonight on 11 News at 6, we go inside the leaking rectory and find out how the search for the suspect is going.

That was in May. Since then, the contractor allegedly skipped town and left the rectory with a major leak.
