sickening. they were beaten to death with a pipe and slashed with a scythe. by their own son and his old bag of a 46 year-old "girlfriend".
DALLAS, Ore. -- Two people are in custody after a husband and wife were found dead in their home in what appears to have been a double homicide, according to investigators.
The couple's bodies were discovered Tuesday morning on their farm they called Abundant Life Farm. Officers were responding to a report of an unconscious person at their home about three miles south of Dallas.
The victims have been identified as 61-year-old David Scott Jondle and 58-year-old Marilyn Ruth Jondle. Police say the couple's youngest son, 20-year-old Andrew Jondle of Salem, beat them to death.
The alleged killer's father was found in a garage, and his mother in the house.
The couple's son and his girlfriend, 46-year-old Cindy Lou Beck of Salem, were later located in Salem. Both were taken into custody after being questioning by authorities in Polk County.
Andrew Jondle faces aggravated murder charges. His bail has not yet been set.
Beck faces a charge of hindering prosecution, with additional charges pending. Her bail was set at $5,000.
Investigators said they believe the killings are tied to a conflict between father and son.
"We got information from family and friends that there had been some relations strained between the father and the son," said Polk County Sheriff Bob Wolfe. "That led us to the son, who was located at his apartment in south Salem."
David Powell, Andrew Jondle's neighbor, said he saw Andrew Jondle and Beck arrive home at 2 a.m. Tuesday.
"He sat right here (pointing to a chair outside an apartment unit), and he basically curled up a little bit and had a hoodie on and was shaking really bad," Powell said.
The Polk County sheriff said investigators decided during the questioning process to charge Beck with hindering prosecution. Both are expected to make their first court appearances on Wednesday.
David Jondle left behind work as a software engineer in California about 10 years ago, giving up office work so he and his wife could live a simpler life running their farm. They had customers in Salem, Beaverton and Portland.
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 1 (UPI) -- An Oregon man was in jail Wednesday on charges he killed his parents on their farm outside Salem, the Polk County sheriff announced.
Andrew Jondle, 20, was charged with murder in the deaths of David and Marilyn Jondle, two former California residents who moved to the scenic Dallas area in 2000 to take up sustainable farming.
Jondle's 46-year-old girlfriend, Cindy Lou Beck, was also in custody for allegedly hindering a prosecution and conspiracy to commit murder.
The (Portland) Oregonian said the pair was picked up Tuesday at their Salem apartment after the bodies were discovered at the Abundant Life Farm by a delivery man, Sheriff Bob Wolfe said.
Neighbors of the accused couple told the Salem Statesman Journal the pair had been causing problems in recent months, including belligerent behavior toward residents and their children. They said police had been called three or four times in August.
