"You Never Know What Goes On Behind Closed Doors"

"WEWAHITCHKA, FL — A married couple were discovered dead in their home Thursday afternoon in what authorities are calling an apparent murder-suicide.

"The Gulf County Sheriff’s Office responded to 3052 State 71 after a friend of Oscar David Redd stopped by the house around 2:30 p.m. (CDT) to pick up the husband to help with some odd jobs. The friend saw Patricia Luann Redd lying motionless on the kitchen floor and called 911.

"When deputies arrived they found both Redds dead. Patricia was in the kitchen. Oscar was in the living room. They were both 40 years old.

"Investigators believe Oscar Redd shot his wife and then himself. A .38-caliber pistol was found underneath Oscar Redd’s body, Sheriff Joe Nugent said.

"The people who gathered at the home next door were friends and relatives, officials at the scene said.

"Neighbors said the Redds were happy and pleasant, `but you never know what goes on behind closed doors,` one man said.

"The medical examiner’s office will conduct autopsies Friday."
