Haywood County -- July 9, 2024: Haywood County Sheriff's Office Press Release: Haywood County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to

6232 Panther Creek Road, Clyde NC, just before 8:00 am on July 8, 2024, for a female who appeared to be deceased inside the residence. Upon arrival, deputies located two additional deceased individuals, another female, and a male.

We have received several questions from the community about rumors of a manhunt. Sheriff Wilke wants the Fines Creek and Panther Creek communities to know they are safe. This was an isolated incident, and there has never been a manhunt nor is there a threat to the community. Our office does still believe the suspect to be one of the deceased.

The deceased are identified as Olivia Stroupe, 49 of Clyde, Robyn Moriarty, 62 of Clyde and originally from Maryland, and Jason Brunner, 42 of Maryland.

This continues to be an active and ongoing investigation and to protect the integrity of this case no further details can be released at this time.
