Burglars found bodies of couple during break-in

[barryqwalsh]

Burglars discovered the badly decomposed bodies of an on-the-run fraudster and her partner when they broke into a rural farmhouse.

The thieves rang gardaí in a panic after finding the remains of Julia Holmes (63) and Thomas Ruttle (56) side-by-side on a bed.

The grandmother had the notorious distinction of being investigated by police on both sides of the Atlantic.

Two handwritten notes, dated March 14, were found on the kitchen table of the house near Askeaton, Co Limerick, the Irish Independent can reveal. They were apparently signed by both of the deceased.

Ms Holmes, who is originally from Ballynahinch, Co Down, had more than 20 convictions and was being sought by the gardaí and the PSNI for fraud offences.

In 2006 she was deported from the US after she was arrested in connection with a $500,000 (€440,000) property scam in Texas.

Makes you wonder if it was a suicide pact since two notes were found. I wonder if the burglars were charged for breaking and entering also.

"[A] family member convinced the two suspects to come forward, they contacted law enforcement," McKenzie said.

Investigators served a search warrant on Stockard’s property and found three desktop computers and three laptops. It’s unknown what those computer contain, but authorities believe Stockard has been downloading the images and movies since 2004.

He was booked into jail for possession of child pornography and posted his $25,000 bail.

The two people that found the pornography were not arrested for the burglary.

"We did not actually go out and arrest the suspects for the burglary. They were obviously the lesser of two evils," McKenzie told Fox40.

The burglars' case has been turned over to the Merced County District Attorney’s Office for review.
