On the morning of September 13, 2011, 81-year-old Carmen Mercedes Perez-Stolts and her 71-year-old boyfriend Ludwig Volksheimer were found dead in the master bedroom of their Golden Gate home at 5770 Sea Grass Lane. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office says both were shot multiple times; initial reports from the scene had suggested stabbing, but investigators later determined the cause was gunshot wounds.

Courtney Edward Woode, the son of Perez-Stolts who lived in the house, last saw the couple the previous evening and spoke with his mother by phone around 9 a.m. the next morning. After failing to reach her later that day he went to the residence and discovered the bodies. Detectives executed a search warrant, processed the scene, and conducted a neighborhood canvass.

A person of interest has been developed but no arrest has been announced and no witnesses have come forward. Does anyone with knowledge of the Golden Gate neighborhood or the victims’ circle have information that could help move this investigation forward?
