Owasso police spent the day taking pictures, gathering evidence and getting information.
“They’ll be talking to all the neighbors to see if they saw anything or heard anything out of the ordinary,” said Lt. Nick Boatman.
They were in the Presley Hollow neighborhood for hours combing for answers.
“It’s definitely alarming,” said Preston Stanley. “Nobody wants to wake up in a neighborhood and see police in their neighborhood.”
Preston Stanley has lived in the neighborhood for 3 years. He checked his cameras the morning of July 18 and saw the big police presence outside.
“You don’t see stuff like this happen in the neighborhood,” said Stanley. “It just goes to show you can buy the most expensive house in the safest gated neighborhood; you can’t keep bad things from happening. They happen everywhere and that’s just kind of the way it is.”
Neighbors say the two people moved into the home recently. Police say they were in a domestic relationship.
2 News is working to find out how they died, but Owasso Police Lt. Nick Boatman says there’s no threat to the public and they’re not looking for a suspect.
“Whatever happened in this house stayed in this house,” said Lt. Boatman.
Neighbors say they did see police in the neighborhood near the home the night before.
“Didn’t think too much of it,” said Stanley. “Didn’t seem overly alarming and then this morning you see a big crime scene and you realize whatever was happening last night was certainly more serious than you might have thought.”
The OSBI was also on scene looking into what happened.
