Police stormed a Nevada apartment after a standoff and found a Nevada couple who appeared as ghost hunters in the reality television show "Ghost Adventures."

Mark and Debby Constantino were found dead Tuesday in a barricaded Sparks apartment. Officials weren't releasing a cause of death.

The couple was featured in recent years on the Travel Channel's series, including episodes shot at the Mustang Ranch brothel east of Reno, the Goldfield Hotel and the Market Street Cinema in San Francisco.

A SWAT team responding to a hostage situation found their bodies when officers stormed their adult daughter's apartment near Sparks High School following an hours-long standoff on Tuesday.

1. Cops mistake a neutrino wand for a gun?

[rollin74]

3. no. the estranged husband kidnapped his wife and murdered her before killing himself

he had killed one of her roommates earlier in the day

suspect fired shots at the officers when they arrived at the location where he was holding his wife hostage but police still negotiated with him for hours to try to get him to surrender and end the situation without further bloodshed

police never fired any shots

5. Was the "roommate" her new lover?

This sounds like a triangle case.

[rollin74]

6. I don't know

at least one other woman lived at the home with the 2 victims

the suspect was arrested about 6 six weeks ago for kidnapping and domestic battery by strangulation. a judge later allowed him to bond out of jail and ordered him to stay away from the wife

kidnapping is usually a no bail charge in this area

7. There really needs to be a well funded support goup that can relocate victims.

[rollin74]

8. I agree

19. this is terrible. I liked Debby. She seemed a sweet person and he seemed okay too. Very sad.

2. Oh dear! This investigation isn't going to end well.

Hopefully it will not appear on a future Psychic Detectives episode. But that is probably an inevitable outcome. Rational folks would prefer that the detectives use science and technology to find the perps.

In the meantime, light a candle for their families.


One must ignore the fact that ghosts do not exist and that this couple were scamming. Nobody deserves to die for that. Apparently a murder suicide.

4. maybe next season someone can hunt for them

Sorry

10. You want to see a meteor you've got to stare at the night sky.

[longship]

13. Well, my degree is in physics and I studied astronomy.

Between 38,000 and 78,000 tons of meteors hit the Earth each year, mostly in the oceans, which cover about 3/4 of the Earth's surface. Sometimes we see big ones, but most are the size of beach sand, or smaller.

But that's a lot of shit crashing down on Earth, every day.

[snort]

14. Excellent.

I've been fiddling with scopes since I was a child. The instruments were my interest the Astronomy was secondary. I still have some refractors. I've also been privileged to have witnessed some bolides over the years. As an atheist ghost hunter I find the "ghosts don't exist" too easy. If a person were to desire to look into it then I would encourage that person find that 'night sky'. I didn't ask to be a witness to the phenomena but I'm not going to deny it and make myself a hypocrite. I don't believe in the 'supernatural', I think of this as an aspect of the Cosmos that I do not understand.

9. Inquiring minds Wanna Know...

Besides asking the obvious question, "How did this guy who was out on bond for kidnapping and battery have access to a gun?", an equally pressing question has to be asked: "Will a future episode of 'Ghost Adventures' now try and contact the recently deceased?"

21. Thanks for letting me know. I can't fathom why people aren't more outraged at

the bullshit on TV that encourages stupid people to get MORE stupid. No, I'm not talking about "the news" now. These shows, like the ghost ones, that take advantage of people's gullibility are why we have stupid people voting for GOP assholes.

[Flying Squirrel]

22. FYI

My fiance's aunt is addicted to those shows, but she is very smart and not at all gullible when it comes to most other things in life. And she would never in a million years vote Republican. We just laugh and respect her as a person who differs from us in some ways.

Stereotypes are not very useful.

23. Believing in ghosts is stupid. nt

[Flying Squirrel]

24. Wow.

I hope your judgmental attitude doesn't create too much loneliness in your life.

:no appropriate smiley exists:

25. Welcome to my Forever Ignored list. I'm sick of personal attacks from you and other like you. nt

[Flying Squirrel]

27. Ditto, I don't need your kind of negativity in my life.

[appal_jack]

17. Glad of the 0-7 leave. I encourage you to keep-up the gallows humor! nt

[roguevalley]

20. gallows humor. I'm glad no one ever made fun of my mother when she died

in front of me. I don't like gallows humor when applied to murder and the like. this is a mad tragedy no matter what they did for a living.

[valerief]

26. I wasn't being the least bit humorous. I was being snarky. nt

[Javaman]

15. I wonder what spooked them?

sorry couldn't resist.
