Candice Kande Gulmette, 70, was found dead inside her Upper Notch Road home in Bristol, Vermont, after out-of-state relatives lost contact with her and her husband following their last conversation on the evening of Saturday, November 30, 2019. A neighbor checked the couple on Monday, December 2 and discovered both Candice and her 71-year-old husband, Gary, inside the residence and alerted authorities.

The Vermont State Police investigation, supported by autopsies from the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington, concluded the deaths were a murder-suicide. Candice’s death was ruled a homicide from a rifle wound to the neck; Gary’s death was ruled a suicide from a rifle wound to the head. Investigators reported evidence indicating Gary shot Candice before taking his own life and did not seek other suspects. Authorities noted Gary had suffered a significant medical event earlier in 2019 and examined whether it could have affected his mental state.

If anyone knew Candice or the couple and can share relevant insight into their lives or Gary’s health in 2019, authorities may still want to hear from you.
