Triple Homicide, Suicide, Leaves Four Dead in Oscoda County

In a quiet Oscoda County neighborhood — the bodies of two little boys, a woman and a man were discovered today.

It’s the heart-breaking triple-homicide, suicide, we’ve been following all day.

Now police say the man made his plans in advance.

In the early morning hours, he told other people he was going to hurt the woman and the boys, and then himself.

And at 10:30 a.m., all of their dead bodies were found.

The discovery was at an Oscoda County home on West Cherry Creek Road, near Lewiston.

Police believe the woman and the two children lived in the home.

An acquaintance first discovered the bodies of the woman and one child this morning.

After he called police, they found the second child and the man.

The boys were only two and three years old.

“The male party, who is deceased, made some telephone calls downstate to some acquaintances leading our investigators to believe he committed suicide after possibly committing these homicides,” said MSP Trooper Mike Hahn.

And the phone calls were threatening — telling of his plans to harm the woman and children, and then himself.

The man is from downstate, but police are still investigating where.

They’re also trying to figure out the nature of the man’s and woman’s relationship.

“We’re all shocked. Everybody in the store here wanted to know what happened,” said James Corbin, a neighbor.

Police are working for answers — and have one assurance.

“There are no other suspects at this time affiliated with this investigation. So the public is not in any danger at all,” said Hahn.
