GUILTY OK - Karen, 58, & Shawn Ott, 34, shot to death, Garvin County, 12 Dec 2011

Just how two Garvin County residents died is currently under investigation by the Garvin County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Undersheriff Jim Mullet, the Sheriff’s Office received a call shortly before noon from a concerned family member and asked the Sheriff’s Office to check on the welfare of a family member.

Deputies were dispatched to a mobile home located in the Westridge Mobile Home Park on Klondike and Air Port Road.

“Upon entering the residence we immediately found one subject who had deceased,” Mullet to the News Star.

Hmmm....drug OD(s)? Murder-suicide? Natural causes, back-to-back? Someone drove the short distance off I-35 and shot them?

Questions, questions.
 
Mullet said deputies also discovered another dead body in another room of the mobile home.

“We immediately exited the residence and secured it as crime scene. We are currently waiting to get a search warrant so we can go back into the residence and begin our investigation,” Mullet said.

Mullet said the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to aid in the investigation.

Murder-suicide? They say they aren't looking for any suspects so that would be my guess.
That's what I'm thinking too.

However, then there's this:
---
Sheriff Larry Rhodes said one of the bodies has trauma on it but that further details were not yet available.

"It's certainly suspicious," Rhodes said. "Each time we have a death investigation and, as early as we are into this, we haven't determined any cause of death."

Not quite sure what to make of that.

Sometimes when they say there were no signs of trauma, later the cause of death will be determined to be strangling or suffocation.

The way I am thinking is probably one was strangled or suffocated and the other the perpetrator then used a knife or gun on themselves. JMOO

So LE was not quite honest when they said there were no signs of trauma or that they were not looking for a suspect. Or, alternatively, it was the media just making up something to put in the article.

I'm glad they have arrested a suspect and I wonder if he is related to the people? I also wonder when they will release the names of the deceased?

Awful. Another back-country feud taken way too far, is my guess...sounds like they argued quite a bit in the past. His mugshot creeps me out, something about him is way off.

Does anyone else wonder why, when someone confesses to a murder, often the police still can't get a motive out of them? Is that something the detective tells you to get lawyered up first for, or is there another reason?
