Famed Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote at length about universal symbols and what they represented in the “collective unconscious” of humanity.
William Ingram violated the most fundamental symbol of existence; mother, by murdering his in 2024. And he will pay by spending at least the next 24 years caged like an animal in state prison.
Ingram pleaded guilty Monday, December 15, 2025, to third-degree murder and numerous related charges for the killing of his 82-year-old mother, Dolores Ingram, inside their Holland condominium in Northampton Township last year.
Ingram, 51, entered the plea before Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr. As part of a negotiated sentence, Ingram will be sentenced to 26 to 54 years in state prison for the murder charge and related offenses. Judge Corr retains the discretion to add an additional 10 to 20 years on the drug offenses. Ingram will be formally sentenced on Feb. 18.
During the plea hearing, Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc J. Furber read the facts of the case, detailing how Dolores Ingram’s body was discovered inside 26024 Beacon Hill Drive on the morning of June 15, 2024. The discovery was made after Northampton Township police officers responded to a welfare check requested by the Metropolitan D.C. Police Department.
The investigation found that after killing his mother, Ingram stole her Honda Civic and fled to Washington, D.C. He was taken into custody in Washington D.C. that same morning for assaulting an officer and damaging a police vehicle. While in custody, he confessed to Metro D.C. police officers that he had killed his mother, authorities said.
According to investigators, upon forcing entry into the locked front door of the condo, police found blood on a windowsill and throughout the interior. The living room was in disarray, and during the initial investigation, police located Dolores Ingram buried underneath a huge pile of clothes, towels/linens, furniture, and other household items on the far-right side of the room. Also recovered from the pile were a blue laundry bag containing six pounds of marijuana, and a store bag containing $53,500 in cash along with suspected Psilocybin mushrooms.
In addition to third-degree murder, Ingram also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief, possession of an instrument of crime, abuse of a corpse, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and cruelty to animals, said a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office.
Jung said, of the mother symbol, it represented, nurturing, and nature, among several other life affirming characteristics. None of which Ingram subscribed to.
