Investigators have a “working theory” about how two elderly east Lawrence residents were killed, Police Chief Ron Olin said Friday morning.

However, Olin would not release any other information about the slayings of George (Pete) L. Wallace and Wyona M. Chandlee, both 72, whose bodies were discovered Thursday afternoon at their home at 1530 Learnard Ave.

Olin made public the names of the two victims Friday morning. Their bodies were discovered by a visitor to their home about 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Autopsies were being conducted Friday morning by Frontier Forensics in Topeka, which serves as Douglas County’s coroner.

Olin said he didn’t know when the results woujld be available.

About 25 officers are still working on the case, Olin said. Lawrence Police detectives are getting help from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Douglas County Sheriff’s office.

Olin is calling it a “double-homicide,” not a suicide-homicide.
