Police: Deaths in Kirkwood apparently murder-suicide

KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) - Police say the death of a married couple in Kirkwood appears to be a murder-suicide.

Kirkwood police say the bodies of 57-year-old Leonard Goggio and 52-year-old Linda Goggio were found in a home Monday night.

Kirkwood officers had to force their way into the home after receiving a call from someone who said the home’s rear door was unlocked.

Police did not say how the two died or describe their relationship.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports court records show they were married. Leonard Goggio filed for divorce from Linda Goggio earlier this year.

Leonard Goggio lived at the home where the bodies were discovered.
