“We received a call from the family that said they haven’t been able to get in touch with their mom and dad, so we came out here and made entry into the home. And we found two deceased individuals, a man and a wife, and it seems to be a murder-suicide,” said Sheriff Brett Stassi.

“You know, when have mental illness in some of these marriages, sometimes it comes to this, and it’s a shame,” said Sheriff Stassi.

“They were married possibly 20 years. And you know, they said on days when the medicine was right, he was 100%. And the fluctuation with the medicine, always trying to chase the medicine,” said Sheriff Stassi.
