According to the Hot Springs Village Police Department, officers responded to a welfare check around 10:30 p.m. on April 18 at a residence in the 1000 block of Sacedon Lane.
When officers arrived, they discovered two individuals — identified as 73-year-old Sandra Craig and 69-year-old Carl Craig — deceased inside the home. Both appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds.
