Katherine Agnes Hively, 71, and her husband Jim Hively, 75, were found dead in their rural Russell, Minnesota home on April 30, 2015. Emergency responders discovered the couple in their bedroom; investigators determined they had been fatally shot during a burglary.

Police identified a primary suspect named Wesselink. On the afternoon of the incident a Marshall police officer stopped Wesselink for driving without a license or insurance, and further investigation linked him to the Russell crime scene, resulting in his arrest. Motive and the complete sequence of events remain part of the ongoing investigation.

The Hivelys were well known in the area; memorial services were held at Victory Christian Church in Balaton and a private family interment took place in Russell City Cemetery. Does anyone have information about the Hivelys, their activities in Russell, or about Wesselink that could assist the case?
