Bobby Tunis DeHart, an 83-year-old man from Lucasville, Ohio, died at his home on April 13, 2016. A U.S. Army veteran who liked fishing, restoring cars and dirt track racing, DeHart was born August 12, 1932, in Carter County, Kentucky and belonged to Teamsters Local #413 in Columbus.
On the night he died DeHart had invited an acquaintance, 33-year-old Anthony Carl Colvin of Franklin Furnace, Ohio, into the house. DeHart apparently caught Colvin stealing money, an altercation followed, and Colvin shot DeHart and 62-year-old Nancy Culp, who had entered to investigate. A neighbor who noticed unusual lights found both victims unresponsive on the floor; detectives developed Colvin as a suspect.
Colvin fled but was later arrested in Peebles, Ohio, after an attempted escape through a window and was held on $505,000 bond. The incident is described as a double homicide; what details about the night or motive still need to be clarified by anyone who knew the victims or saw suspicious activity?
