Four people were found dead in what appeared to be a murder-suicide
In the early morning of Sunday, July 10, four family members were found dead in Roscommon County, Michigan. The police department determined it was a murder-suicide.
Roscommon County Sheriff officers were sent to a residence in Roscommon Township at around 3:30 a.m. on July 10 after two unidentified subjects discovered several bodies inside the home.
The four bodies inside the home were identified as Tirany Lee Savage, 35, her son— Dayton Cowdrey, 13, Tirany’s mother—Kim Lynnette Ebright, 58, and Bo Eugene Savage, 35. All of their bodies were found with gunshot wounds.
According to the press release by the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Department, “All subjects had known relationships, and the incident is being investigated as a murder/suicide.” The police department doesn’t believe there are any other suspects or that there is any danger present in the community.
The police investigation is ongoing.
On June 24, Tirany filed a Personal Protection Order against Bo Savage, but the request was denied on June 27 due to “insufficient evidence.”
In the Personal Protection Order petition, Tirany wrote: “I asked him to be civil for a divorce and asked him to leave the house and he refuses. I left and have been getting texts accusing me of being with other people and he has now been texting my friends threatening them because he thinks they told me to leave him, He is slamming things around the house and calling me names, telling me he won't leave and he wants money. He has mental health issues (he stopped taking his meds) and recently purchased a firearm and that is concerning to me. He keeps saying he is going to blow his brains out and I do not want my safety or my son's safety in jeopardy."
Tirany also stated in her petition that Bo was threatening to kill her or to injure her.
Three days before her body was found, on July 7, Tirany filed for divorce from Bo Savage.
