At approximately 12:02 am on Sunday October 27th, officers received a call from family members regarding a welfare check on the occupants of the residence. Officers responded to the residence and we’re unable to get anyone to answer the door. A further inspection of the residence through an exterior window occurred, and officers were able to see a deceased person lying on the kitchen floor. Upon gaining entry to the home a second body was located in a bedroom within the residence. Based on preliminary evidence found at the scene; the Bonifay Police Department is currently looking for Jesse Joe Raby for questioning.
If anyone has additional information related to this investigation or Mr. Jesse Joe Raby’s whereabouts you are asked to call your local law enforcement agency or the Bonifay Police Department.
