"Wonderful Neighbors" Found Dead
"OCEANSIDE, CA - A couple were found dead inside their Fire Mountain home Tuesday in what appears to be a murder-suicide, an Oceanside police sergeant said.
"Records show the home at 2464 Fire Mountain Drive belonged to John A. and Barbara C. McWorthy, and neighbors confirmed the two lived there.
"A co-worker of one of the residents called police Tuesday concerned because the person had not come to work, Sgt. Jeff Brandt said. Police went to the house at 12:45 p.m. and entered to find the deceased pair, Brandt said.
"After speaking with investigators, neighbor Traci Newcomb said she was surprised and saddened by what they told her.
"`They were wonderful neighbors,` Newcomb said as tears began to fill her eyes. `It's just a terrible loss.`
"Sgt. Karen Laser would not give any identifying information about the victims, including their genders, ages or relationship. She said police were not searching for other suspects and did not believe a suspect was at large.
"Oceanside homicide detectives obtained a search warrant for the home and were investigating Tuesday evening, Brandt said.
"Felicity May, a neighbor, said the couple were in their 60s."

I knew John and Barbara many years ago. They were a wonderful, kind couple. I am shocked and saddened by their deaths. We can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors. May they both rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI've known John & Barb for nearly 17 years. This news is devasting. Also, I find it extremely difficult to believe. Yesterdays news article said Barbaras death is listed as a homicide and John's as a suicide. Although they didn't say John was the shooter, they did say they were not looing for anyone at large. This is NOT them...in a million years I don't believe John could have done this...there has to more investigation. God Bless their souls! KLND
