Bodies Of Three Found In Rural Home
"CLAY COUNTY, MO — Three bodies found Monday inside a rural Clay County home east of Smithville Lake are the victims of an apparent double murder and suicide, authorities said.
"Deputies were called to the residence in the 19000 block of Neth Road about 9 a.m., after a family friend reported seeing a body and blood through a backdoor window. The friend went to check on the family after not being able to reach anyone there, said Clay County Sheriff Bob Boydston.
"Boydston described the dead as a 14-year-old boy, a woman in her 40s who was the boy’s cousin, and the woman’s husband. They apparently died Thursday or Friday, officials said. Each had been shot in the head.
"Their names have not been released pending notification of relatives.
"The woman and boy were found in separate bedrooms, apparently killed by the woman’s husband. His body was on the kitchen floor near the back door of the home, which sits amid farmland north of Missouri 92, Boydston said.
"Officials would not discuss whether they found a suicide note, but they said they had recovered prescription drugs and found more than 10 firearms, including an assortment of revolvers, long-barreled firearms and semi-automatic weapons.
"The weapon that investigators think was used in the shootings was found near the man. No weapons were found near the two other bodies, Boydston said."

Actually, my son lives across the road from them, they are elderly people, not in their 40's. I met him at the doctors office a couple months back and he told me that he was unable to sleep and didn't know why. Perhaps the doctor prescribed him an antidepressant and this is what caused this. Generally, this happens with psychotropic drugs, and his happening more often now, than not. Very sad.. He was also an avid gun collector. Good for him in that aspect, sad that he used them on his loved ones. I attribute these things to those drugs.
