Investigation is continuing

An elderly Stillman Valley couple were found dead in their home Monday morning in what appears to be a murder and suicide.

Jack E. Bond, 85, and his wife Dorothy F. Bond, 86, were pronounced dead inside the house at 4238 N. Armour Rd., approximately three and one-half miles southeast of Stillman Valley.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said Dorothy Bond died of a gunshot to the head, and Jack Bond died of a self-inflicted gunshot.
