Sheriff: 2 found dead in Missouri home; man arrested

CHAMOIS, Mo. (AP) – Authorities in central Missouri say two people were found dead in front of their home over the weekend, and another man has been arrested and charged in the deaths.

The Osage County Sheriff’s Department says deputies were called around noon Saturday to a home north of Linn for a report of two deaths.

Arriving officers found a Chamois couple, 59-year-old Leonard Gerloff and 56-year-old Pauline Gerloff, dead from gunshot wounds.

An investigation led police to 62-year-old Warren Taylor of Chamois, who was arrested around 10 p.m. Saturday.

Taylor was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action. He’s being held without bond.
