A Hebron man is believed to have shot his wife multiple times before inflicting a fatal gunshot wound on himself.
Morton County Sheriff Dave Shipman said autopsies performed Tuesday morning showed Dwile Krueger, 56, died of a single gunshot wound, and his wife, Rosi Krueger, 57, had multiple gunshot wounds. Shipman said it appears Dwile Krueger shot Rosi Krueger, then killed himself.
A family member found the couple's bodies in the couple's bedroom and called the sheriff's department at 2:23 a.m. Sunday. A firearm was recovered from the scene.
Shipman said the case remains under investigation.
"The case has not been closed yet, but it is being treated as a murder suicide," he said.
The Kruegers had no history of domestic violence or history of known problems between them. Investigators have some suspicions as to what led up to their deaths, but the sheriff said it may not be possible to corroborate those suspicions.
"We have no concrete evidence to support why it was done," Shipman said.
