(4/3/2019) - Police are ruling the death of a 70-year-old Saginaw Township woman and her 44-year-old daughter a murder-suicide.

A medical examiner's report ruled the manner of death for 70-year-old Cynthia Dutton a homicide and 44-year-old Lisa Geitman a suicide. Police did not release a cause of death for either woman.

Saginaw Township police believe Geitman killed Dutton during an argument before taking her own life. Investigators don't believe anyone else was involved with either woman's death.

The Saginaw Township Police Department got a call Monday from a person who said they hadn't seen a family member in several days and was concerned. Officers forced entry into the home and found the bodies.

The home is located in the Lakeview Estates neighborhood off Lawndale Road on the northwest part of the township. Dutton was listed as the owner of the home.

Police Chief Don Pussehl believes the women died about a week ago and their bodies were badly decomposed.

Geitman was reported as missing out of Spaulding Township in Saginaw County for a time last year. She was listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, but was removed after she got in contact with family and friends.

It's not clear if Geitman was living with her mother in the home or was visiting.
