Bob and Ellen Sheldon owned The Old Cabin Shop, a weapons store, since 1957 in Carthage, MO. They had been married for over 50 years and they died together in their own home last Sat. night. Their son found them Sunday after his parents failed to show up for church which was very unusual.
My dad mentioned it to me today because he grew up in Neosho which is about 10 minutes, had two aunts who lived and are buried in Carthage and so he knew the Sheldons. His parents had bought a gun from them in the 60's. They were considered pillars of the community and very well known in the area. I did a google search and found that Steve Huff had a write up about it on his webpage.
It does not appear that LE has released the cause of death although it has been called 'horrible and brutal' and the lead investigator said they believe this was a 'hate' crime although not motivated by race or gender.....it is also rumoured their dog was killed too.
