Indiana Teens' Deaths Investigated As Murder-Suicide

MARION, IN — The Associated Press reports Marion police say the deaths of two northeastern Indiana teenagers are being investigated as a suspected murder-suicide. According to AP News, police say 13-year-old Alainee M. Byer of Jonesboro and 17-year-old Corbin T. Page of Gas City were found dead by Byer's father Sunday inside his Gas City home. Gas City is about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis.

The teens' causes of death haven't been disclosed; however, AP News says investigators reportedly found a handgun at the scene where Byer and Page were pronounced dead around 2:30 a.m.

AP reported that autopsies for the two teens were planned for Monday, as police said their deaths apparently followed the end of a "relationship between Byer and Page."

AP News says Byer was a student at Baskett Middle School and Page was a student at Mississinewa High School, both of which are in Gas City.
