Elderly Couple Had Financial Worries


"LOWELL, IN — An 84-year-old man who was apparently despondent over health and financial issues shot his wife to death over the weekend and then killed himself.

"Police said the couple attended a birthday party Friday.

"Sunday, their daughter came to the home on the 300 block of Eastland Circle and saw the newspaper still outside. She entered the couple's home through a garage door pad and found her parents dead.

"Police said the man had been suffering from Alzheimer's and the woman had vision problems.

"Police said the couple had just depleted their 401(k) and had lost money in the stock market.

"Police said they would not release the names of the victims per the family's request.
The Lake County Coroner's Office is not releasing the names of the deceased pending further investigation."
