SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) - Two people found dead in February inside a parked car in a storage unit died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, authorities have reported.

A news release from the Scotts Bluff County Attorney’s Office issued Monday night said the ruling came after extensive investigation into the deaths of Beau Gealy, 29, and Maci Baily, 18. Their bodies were found the morning of Feb. 28 inside a unit of Jerry’s Self Storage, located northwest of Scottsbluff. The facility is owned by Gealy’s father.

Both Gealy and Baily had been reported missing by their families within the week of their deaths. The investigation included autopsies, search warrants and subpoenas for well over 1,000 pages of cellphone and social media records and many interviews with various people, County Attorney Dave Eubanks said in the release.
