Crime scene investigators are back for a second day looking into a St. Joseph house where two bodies were found.

A death investigation began after the St. Joseph Police Department responded to a house located at 1702 S. 22nd St. around 3:45 p.m. Monday two find two bodies inside.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said the bodies are presumed to be that of elderly individuals.

Police have the road blocked off on Duncan St. at 22nd to traffic and crime scene tape surrounds the area.

A neighbor who’s lived next door to the house for four years told the St. Joseph Post that he knew the older man who lived there but had never seen another individual.

Another neighbor said she thought the house was abandoned.

“It hasn’t had any upkeep or anything done to it,” neighbor Kaela Burchett said. “I’ve never seen anybody near the house, I’ve never even seen anybody mow the yard.”

Investigators can be seen for a second day wearing white suits to enter the residence.

Wilson said the suits have to be worn due to the poor conditions inside the house.

The bodies have been sent for an autopsy and results are pending.

“It also appears that a period of time has elapsed since the deaths occurred,” Wilson said.

Names and gender of the individuals are not yet being released.

Police said that all unattended deaths are treated as potential homicides until the investigation shows otherwise.
