Snipped due to short article...The "he" in the sentence is the Police Chief Tyson Kerr...

"He noted that there has not been much history of calls to the home. He said the couple has other family in the area, and all relatives have been notified."

Also the department is "actively following up on some information" concerning Shirley.

Disturbing details in double-homicide in Sterling
http://www.9news.com/story/news/crime/2014/06/04/double-homicide-sterling/9957877/

"STERLING - The 19-year-old charged with murdering his grandparents admitted to police he did it, court records show.

According to court records, Brendan Johnson told investigators he and his 18-year-old girlfriend Cassandra Rieb "had been planning to kill his 70-year-old grandparents Charles and Shirley Severance since the first part of May." Rieb also admitted to her role in the murder to police, according to court records."

**************************************

"...the plan was to kill them so he could get their inheritance," Rieb told police during a polygraph interview."

No words.

No words.

I have PLENTY of Words but it is against TOS to use those words here for these two pieces of GARBAGE!
IMOO.

 

[Treelights]

"A teenage couple accused of killing the man's grandparents told police they planned the slayings so he could get his inheritance: a tiny house and $20,000, according to court documents released Wednesday."

"Rieb said the plan was to hasten Johnson's inheritance, which included the grandparents' low-slung home, valued at just $47,000."

"As we reported, Johnson called police on May 29 on a supposed medical call for his grandfather. Charles was dead upon the cops' arrival, and the fact that he had been killed a week-plus earlier goes a long way toward explaining why an autopsy didn't find immediate signs of trauma to his body."

I'm stunned and numb. Nothing makes sense. How could those two do that to his grandparents? Not good. It's Colorado. No death penalty? :notgood: :sick:
