Deputies responded to the Engelharts' McIntosh Road home just after 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in reference to a welfare check. They found the couple's mail stacked on top of the mailbox, their vehicle missing from the carport, and, upon entering the shed, the bodies of the deceased. Further investigation through a search warrant determined that Herald had been hired by the Engelharts as a handyman.

The stolen vehicle is a white 2015 Ford Explorer SUV, tag number EFM D62.
