The Madison County Sheriff’s Office reported finding two adults visibly deceased through a window. Upon entering the house, they found a third deceased individual, believed to be Justin.
Background of Recent Events
Investigators revealed the couple had recently paid $10,000 to bail Justin out of jail following his arrest related to domestic violence charges, with two dozen charges filed against him. This was the second time in a month they had bailed him out. He was arrested again on July 29.
