The Luetjens Died A Triple Homicide

[Coyote]

Officers from the Cole Camp Police Department and Benton County Sheriff’s Department, and investigators from the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control have ruled the death investigation at a residence on South Elm Street in Cole Camp as a triple homicide.

On June 9, 2009, at approximately 11:30 a.m., the Cole Camp Police Department received a call from a citizen who was concerned for the welfare of the residents. At approximately 5:15 p.m., officers from the Cole Camp Police Department and Benton County Sheriff’s Department entered the residence with a search warrant and discovered three people dead.

At this time no statement will be released as to the cause of death or how long the victims had been deceased. The victims have been identified as Donnie R. Luetjen, 64, Sharon K. Luetjen, 61, and Taron D. Luetjen, 15, all from Cole Camp, Missouri.

The Rural Missouri Major Case Squad is in the process of being activated to assist with this homicide investigation.

There's supposed to be a press release this morning with more details. This was a young woman living with her grandparents. They say she was a straight A student and good kid.

Update:

Law officers say autopsies show a couple and their granddaughter who were killed in their home were all shot once. Beyond that, detectives say they have no suspects and no motive for the killings. The victims were Donnie Luetjen, 64, his wife, Sharon, 61, and their granddaughter, Taron, 15.

At a news conference on Thursday morning, officers said the murders happened in the family's home on Elm Street where the bodies were. They wouldn't talk about the possible times of death or how the bodies were arranged in the home. With the help of relatives, detectives are checking to see if anything is missing, which might indicate the motive for the killings was robbery.

Taron lived with her grandparents most of her life after her father, a son of Donnie and Sharon, died in a car accident. The Luetjens petitioned a judge to have legal custody instead of Taron's mother, Debra Kost. Taron just completed her sophomore year at Cole Camp High School.

A friend of Taron told a reporter that she and Taron were exchanging text messages on Sunday night about their plans for the next day but Taron stopped texting and answering calls after 10:30 Sunday night. Taron missed drivers education classes on Monday and Tuesday, prompting a call to Cole Camp police, who found the bodies late Tuesday morning.

Not confirmed, but from what I hear Taron’s mother was just released from prison a couple of weeks ago.

They finally made an arrest in this case, but say they are still looking for another person. Robert B. Blurton, a nephew of the Luetjens, has been arrested for the triple homicide. Many in the community are not surprised as Donnie had said several years ago if anything ever happened to him to look at his nephew. Blurton is currently being held on $3 million cash only bond in Kansas, awaiting extradition to Missouri.
