HYRUM, Utah — A 38-year-old man and 37-year-old woman found dead in their home have been identified, and the Cache County Sheriff’s Office said they believe the deaths are a result of a murder, suicide.
Sheriff Chad Jensen said that Dustin Preece, age 38, and Heather Preece, age 37, were discovered by their 16-year-old daughter.
“This is a terrible incident that happened in our peaceful community, but especially for the 16-year-old daughter who discovered the scene,” Jensen said.
“Victims’ advocates are working closely with her and the family to get them the services they may need.”
