Rory Zitur, Deloris Heald, Gary Heald Dead in Murder-Suicide

by Ground Report    August 20, 2008

Police in Elk River, Minnesota discovered three dead bodies and are now investigating a murder-suicide they believe stemmed from an online swingers club.

Gary Heald, 59, shot and killed Rory Zitur at Zitur's St. Michael Minnesota home before returning to his own house and shooting his wife and himself to death in their basement. 56 year-old Deloris Heald's employer contacted police when she didn't report for work on Tuesday morning and was unreachable by phone. When they entered the Heald house, they found a note from Gary Heald saying he killed a man and then shot his wife and himself in the basement where police found the Healds' bodies.

Police think that Rory Zitur and Deloris Heald met online and had a sexual affair behind Gary Heald's back. When he found out about it, he committed the murders on Tuesday. Initial reports do not indicate if Rory Zitur was married.
