Apparent Murder-Suicide (NC)

Man kills girlfriend, then himself May 7, 2009

With this one I wanted to give all accounts. First off, it was reported they had been dating for about a month, and that he accidentally shot her, ok that may be true....but if it were an accident why kill himself as well?

Another question this has brought up in my mind is WHY did the police have to wait for a search warrant AFTER they saw/found dead people? Maybe I watch too many cop shows (I LOVE The Closer, and Law & Order: SVU), but seems to me that when there are injured or DEAD people the cops are allowed to enter the premises to render aid or assistance as needed....how did they know there was no one else in there that may need help, if they waited a few hours after discovery to enter??

Crazy breeds crazy!

Note found on apartment door; husband, wife found dead

LENOIR - Police are investigating a murder-suicide of a husband and wife after a neighbor found a note on an apartment door that said to call 911.

Robin and Larry Jarvis were married in 1986, said Capt. Sid Pope with the Lenoir Police Department.

The couple was found dead in Larry Jarvis' apartment at the Meadowood Garden Apartment complex on Meadowood Drive at 9:10 a.m. Sunday. Both were dead from gunshot wounds, though police are waiting for autopsy results to confirm how they died, Pope said.

Pope said the couple separated in February, and the murder-suicide happened in Larry's apartment. Robin lived on Catawba River Road in Old Fort.

"They were together earlier in the day and it was all consensual," Pope said.

Police are investigating what happened that led to the murder-suicide. Pope said Larry left a note.

"It looks like he claimed responsibility for what happened through a note," Pope said.

And although Larry and Robin were found inside Larry's apartment, Pope said it doesn't appear as though both died there.

"It looks like the shooting happened in his truck, which was outside," Pope said.

He added that police are still investigating whether the shooting happened in his truck while it was parked in the parking lot, or if it happened elsewhere.

Pope said neighbors reported hearing no gunshots. They were called to the apartment complex only after a neighbor saw the note on the door, telling someone to call 911.

Pope said Larry, 53, had only lived at the apartment for about a month. Pope said that prior to that, Larry and Robin, 50, lived in a house together. He said he was unaware of domestic complaints.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lenoir Police Department, at 757-2100, or the Caldwell County Crime Stoppers, at 758-8300.
