The Lewis County sheriff's office says the deaths of a Napavine couple were a murder-suicide.

Investigators say the 62-year-old man shot the 53-year-old woman and then himself. They had been having marital issues.

The coroner's office identified the man to KELA as John Estigoy and the woman as Barbara Porthen.

The shooting took place Thursday. Their bodies were discovered Friday after they didn't show up for work.
