A death investigation in Pulaski County has been determined to be a murder-suicide.

Original press release:

The bodies of two Demotte people were found in Pulaski County.

On Tuesday, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office was asked to locate Timothy Alexander, 28, and Kimberly Lareau, 27, both of Demotte. The Demotte Police Department received a request for a welfare check due to comments made in reference to self-harm.

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office stated in a press release that after checking several locations deputies located Alexander and Lareau in a wooded area with self-inflicted injuries. A drone pilot from the Medaryville Police Department and local canine units assisted in the search.

The investigation continues. The two law enforcement agencies involved are working with assistance from the Indiana State Police Crime Scene Unit.
