On Wednesday March 13, 1996, Stanley Lindsey, 43, his wife, Pennye Lindsey, 42, and their son, Sheldon Lindsey, 18, died in what officers have ruled was a double murder and suicide. Pennye Lindsey and Sheldon Lindsey died of gunshots in their home, inflicted by Stanley Lindsey. After driving his pickup truck a short distance from the home, Stanley Lindsey died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound that consequently caused the vehicle to crash into a tree. The investigation was briefly delayed after a tow truck driver, discovering the wreckage, inexplicably removed the firearm from the vehicle cabin. He was later prosecuted for crime scene tampering.
