Bodies Found In Locked Home

"LUMBERTON, NC — The Robeson County Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths of two people whose bodies were found in a mobile home on Thomas Drive Tuesday afternoon.

"Dead are Laurie Wheeler, 31, of 81 Thomas Drive, Lumberton; and James Moore, 46, of 303 Lee Circle, Lumberton, according to Sheriff Kenneth Sealey.

"This morning investigators are trying to determine if they were dealing with a double murder or a murder-suicide.

"Sealey described Wheeler and Moore as boyfriend and girlfriend.

"The Sheriff's Office received a 911 call about 3:30 p.m. from the sister of one of the deceased after she found the bodies.

"`She went to visit her sister,` he said. `She was bringing one of the victim's children home and found them both in the home, shot.`

"Sealey said he didn't know what type of weapon was used. It appears, he said, that it may have been a murder-suicide.

"The house had not been broken into, Sealey said, and the house was locked and secured until the sister visited the home.

"`We received information that they argued a lot, and they had over the last day or so,` he said."
