NEWTON, Kan. (AP) — Harvey County officials have identified a person of interest in the shooting deaths of three people in central Kansas.
Sheriff T. Walton says Wednesday on the department’s Facebook page that investigators want to talk to 35-year-old Jereme Lee Nelson, whose last address was in Augusta.
Officers are investigating the deaths of 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and 52-year-old Richard Prouty, whose bodies were found Sunday south of Moundridge. The couple’s 18-month-old child was not harmed.
Walton didn’t say why authorities want to talk to Nelson, who isn’t charged with any crime.
