James Donald Hively, 75, and his wife Cathy Hively, 71, were found dead at their rural home in Russell, Minnesota, on April 30, 2015. Reports say their deaths were the result of a violent crime; the scene showed signs of a struggle and authorities described it as particularly gruesome.

Police launched an investigation, released detailed physical descriptions and known aliases for suspects, and later made several arrests. Those arrested were reportedly aged from their late 20s to early 40s and included people with prior criminal records; charges lodged included homicide and burglary.

The couple’s deaths had a deep effect on the small Russell community and were followed by multiple memorial services. If anyone knew Jim or Cathy, or has information about the events leading up to April 30, 2015, please come forward to assist the ongoing pursuit of justice.
