So sorry, CP. Life sucks sometimes. Hang in there, sir. :(

Sorry Cosmic, I hope that your family can heal quickly in times like these.

Sorry about your brother.

Sorry to read about this trouble. Words never seem to be enough, but things will get better. Hang in there.

Great to hear there are two people in custody. Hopefully it's the right people and hopefully it's everyone who was involved.

Also hope you and your family are doing as well as you possibly can.

Update, as requested:

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. -- Four people have been arrested in the double-homicide case in Douglas County, including the husband of the woman who was found dead.

Amara Wells, 39 and Robert D. Rafferty Jr., 49, were found dead at 3 a.m. last Wednesday.

This past Saturday and Sunday four suspects were taken into custody and are being held in conjunction with the double homicide.

The four people who have been charged with first-degree murder are:

Christopher Wells, 49
Josiah Sher, 26,
Matthew Plake, 26,
Micah Woody, 29,

I figured the ex was involved, but damn, 3 other people helped the schmuck...

More:

They are all being held without bond.

All live in El Paso County, although how they know each other is unclear. Woody and Sher are both in the military, and all four men are Facebook friends, 7NEWS has learned.

Investigators aren't saying what led to their arrests and their arrest affidavits have been sealed.

Authorities aren't releasing their mugshots because photo lineups are still being conducted.

The crime scene is still being investigated by crime lab and detectives will probably be there throughout Tuesday, Hanavan said.

Murder For Hire?

Christopher Wells and Amara Wells were in the midst of a contentious divorce, and Amara had a restraining order against her husband, according to court documents obtained by 7NEWS.

Christopher is accused of violating that restraining order on Jan. 21 and was arrested the day before the bodies were discovered. Wells was in custody on Wednesday morning when his daughter reported her mother's death.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said Christopher Wells was in custody from 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, until he was transferred to the Douglas County jail at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Amara Wells had received thousands of text messages from her husband over the course of several days, according to court documents. He also e-mailed her and in one e-mail, Christopher talked about paying Amara back for some of her clothing that he destroyed.

That e-mail included this warning: "As you know, ignoring me has and will always have a negative impact."

Amara told authorities back in September that Christopher had withdrawn nearly $164,000 from the bank and had quit his job, according to court documents. In one e-mail, Christopher told her he was going to file for bankruptcy on March 1.

When 7NEWS asked Douglas County Sheriff's Office if this was possibly a murder-for-hire case, Hanavan responded, "You know, right now we're conducting this as a double homicide investigation and the only information that we're at liberty to discuss is that it was a homicide and we are following through with every possible lead."

Christopher Wells Violated Multiple Restraining Orders

The coroner said Amara and Robert died as a result of "sharp force injuries." The medical term is used to describe stab wounds, incised wounds and chop wounds.

Robert owns the sprawling house at 2470 Marlin Way with his wife, Tamara (Tammy) Wells Rafferty, who was out of town working when the bodies were found. Tammy Wells Rafferty is Christopher Wells' sister.

Court records show Christopher had violated multiple restraining orders and Amara had feared for her life. She also feared what her husband would do to himself.

In January, Amara told a sheriff's detective that she had a code word with her family in case it was needed and that she had filled out a release with her therapist in case anything happened to her.

She told a detective she "was at the end of her rope and in a hole that she can't get out of."

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said this is still an active investigation and anyone who has additional information in the case is asked to call the tip line at 303-660-7579.

Hanavan said the sheriff's office may release more information as the investigation develops and may hold a news conference later in the week.

Obviously it is a murder for hire if the husband has been arrested and was in custody during the murders.

May God bring peace to the hearts you and your family. My prayers go up for peace to you and for real justice to be served to who ever did this.

Am I confused or did Donger make CosmicPal's info public?

You're confused

Yeah, probably shoulda just posted the links to those articles and not the actual articles in the thread.

What difference does that make? CP asked for people to post articles. Donger obliged. :shrug:

I didn't catch that. My bad.
