The Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division is investigating the killing of an elderly couple at their home near Eureka Springs.

On Friday, deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office were called to the couple’s home on Highway 62 just east of Eureka Springs for a welfare check. There they discovered the bodies of 71-year-old Robert Willmeth and 77-year-old Joy Willmeth. Both appeared to have been the victims of gunshot wounds. Their remains have been taken to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory in Little Rock in order to determine the cause and manner of death.

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Department says they currently have a suspect in custody in the case.
