Authorities in the Des Moines area are investigating the deaths of a husband and wife as an apparent murder-suicide. Laura Wharff didn’t show up to work on Wednesday at Iowa Health Systems and police were asked to check on her at her home in Altoona.
Mid-afternoon, police entered the home and found the bodies of Wharff and her husband, Mark. Both were 51. Both reportedly died of gunshot wounds and there was no sign of forced entry. The state D.C.I. is investigating.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
