Call The Neighbors First

"CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — Authorities said the elderly couple found dead inside their Aberdeen Avenue home early Tuesday night were victims of a murder-suicide.

"The couple, which neighbors have identified as Pam and Richard Stanley, both in their late 60s, were found in the home's den with gunshot wounds. Investigators found a gun near the two, but would not confirm who shot who.

"A woman who `does business,` with the couple, police said, knocked on their front door about five o'clock, and went to the back door after no one answered where she found the woman dead. The woman returned with other neighbors, authorities said, where they found the man dead near the woman's body.

"Police said the two had likely argued before the murder-suicide. Family members said the two had recently split up after several years of marriage, and that they had both been ill in the last few years."
