Elk Grove Police Department detectives are actively piecing together the events that led up to a grim discovery inside a home in northeastern Elk Grove, where a man and woman were found dead under suspicious circumstances this past Friday afternoon. According to official reports, officers were called to the scene in the 9000 block of Crosscourt Way at 2:13 pm after a concerned individual, failing to reach their family members after several tries, chose to visit the residence and made the harrowing find.
