Cincinnati police are investigating the death of a Mount Auburn couple, killed in an apparent murder-suicide.
Police received a tip Thursday night that Linda Mack, 38, may have been killed. Her husband, George Mack, 41, had told friends he had harmed his wife, police said.
Hamilton County court records show that Linda Mack was given a protective order after accusing her husband of domestic violence in 1998, but those charges were later dismissed.
Telephone calls made by police to reach the couple Thursday were unsuccessful. About 9 a.m. Friday, police searched Mr. Mack's Mount Auburn apartment, where they found the body of his wife in a rear bedroom, police said. She was the apparent victim of a homicide.
Mr. Mack and his wife's car were both missing.
After searching for much of the day, police were called to a Mount Washington apartment in reference to a shooting. Inside an apartment at 6056 Heis Terrace, they found the body of Mr. Mack in a bedroom. Police say he apparently shot himself in the head.
Police officials, as well as the Hamilton County Coroner's office, would not say how Mrs. Mack had died. But while investigators searched her husband's apartment, they found several notes indicating foul play was involved.
The owners of the the Mount Washington apartment building said they did not know Mr. Mack. Neither did neighbors, who watched as police investigators looked over the apartment.
