NORTH VERNON, Ind. – Police arrested a 17-year old boy in in connection to the slayings of a husband and wife in southern Jennings County.

Ryan Renfroe of Columbus is in police custody and is facing double murder charges as an adult.

The bodies of Greg and Marguerite Gough were found inside their home in Lovett Tuesday night.

Authorities found a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro belonging to the Gough’s abandoned and wrecked in a ditch in southern Jennings County. When police were towing the car, a witness stopped and told police that they had helped the driver of the vehicle and took him to a truck stop.

Police found the driver, Renfroe, at a Seymour truck stop and questioned him about the owner of the car. He was then taken into custody.

The police feared something might have happened to the Gough’s because they also found a handgun in Renfroe’s possession. When authorities arrived at the Gough’s home, they discovered that the couple had been killed.

Investigators are still trying to determine the motive of the slayings.
