Today Anchorage police are investigating a possible murder-suicide on the 12600 block of Bona Kim Loop.

Detectives said they first received the call around 3:20 p.m this afternoon, when a relative discovered the bodies of a man and a woman on two separate floors of their South Anchorage townhouse.

The couple had last been heard from Friday, when neighbors said they heard an argument.

The Major Crime Scene Unit continues to investigate the causes of death, which detectives said they believe happened sometime over the past several days. The home was sparsely furnished, and police said there were no obvious signs of a struggle.

The names of the victims have yet to be released.

I hope the police check all avenues and cover all bases. You just never know if it might of been a double homicide, but made to look like a suicide-homicide. Seems like Anchorage have been getting some criminally savvy people from the outside that think that they can get away with murder in Alaska...I hope they look at all cases like this thouroughly..
