Authorities in Washington County arrested a female juvenile and her 20-year-old boyfriend for allegedly killing the girl's grandparents and burying the bodies in the backyard.
Lucas Anthony Walker and the 17-year-old girl were arrested Monday over the Dec. 19 murders of Larry and Deborah Dutton.
Officers were at the scene to conduct a wellness check on the “couple's suspicious disappearance.”
Walker and his girlfriend were living at the residence when police officers showed up and were using the missing couple's money.
Authorities said that Walker admitted to killing the Duttons using a knife and a gun belonging to the victims. He added that days later, he removed the bodies to the backyard where he buried them with the help of the girl.
The suspected couple was charged with first-degree murder. Walker also faces charges of discharging a firearm in connection to a crime of violence.
