On April 14, 2016, Deatta F. Dee Danley, 85, was found dead at her home in the Stonecliff Estates neighborhood of Lincoln, Nebraska, alongside her 86-year-old husband, Warren Danley. Their son, Scott, discovered the two bodies and notified authorities. Initial reports described a shooting with two fatalities; investigators later characterized the incident as a murder-suicide.

The release of the couple’s names underscored how shocking such violence can be in a community where these events are uncommon. Little additional public detail has been provided about circumstances leading up to the deaths. If anyone knew Deatta or the Danley family, or has information about what happened that day, please come forward and share what you know.
