Couple Found Dead In Camper

"Athens, TX - An estranged husband and wife were found shot to death Sunday in an apparent murder-suicide, Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt said.

"Sheriff’s office reports identified the deceased as 50-year-old Marc McRae and his estranged wife, Lori McRae, 46.

"HCSO dispatch received a call at 8 a.m. Sunday reporting the deaths. James McRae, Marc’s father, told authorities that he discovered the bodies in a camper parked in a wooded area on property near County Road 4712, between Athens and LaRue.

"HCSO Investigator Wick Gabbard said Marc McRae had been living alone in the camper during the couples’ estrangement. Lori reportedly visited on occasion and had gone to the property some time Saturday.

"`The last information we have is they both spoke to sometime on their cell phones after 5 p.m.,` Gabbard said.

"Evidence at the camper indicated that Marc McRae shot his estranged wife with a .22-caliber rifle then turned the weapon on himself, committing suicide. Gabbard said there was no sign of a struggle in the camper and no suicide note."
