A 17-year-old Wisconsin boy has been charged with homicide after his mother and stepfather were found dead in their home. Authorities believe the teen shot both victims and then allowed their bodies to decompose for several weeks before fleeing the state. The bodies were discovered after relatives requested a welfare check, concerned that they hadn't heard from the couple.
Police located the teen out of state driving the victims' SUV. He was taken into custody and is awaiting extradition back to Wisconsin. Investigators are still working to determine a motive for the alleged murders. The teen's name is being withheld due to his age. This is a developing story, and more information will be released as it becomes available.
