DALLAS, Ore. (AP) — A Salem man has been charged with aggravated murder in the deaths of his parents at their home in Dallas just west of Salem.
The Polk County sheriff’s office said the bodies of 61-year-old David Scott Jondle and his 58-year-old wife Marilyn Jondle were found Tuesday morning after deputies responded to a report of an unconscious person.
Investigators said the couple both appeared to have suffered trauma but it had not been determined exactly how they died.
Their son, 20-year-old Andrew Jondle, was charged with aggravated murder and was being held at the Polk County Jail.
His girlfriend, 46-year-old Cindy Lou Beck of Salem, was charged with hindering prosecution.
