“All three of them are lying down on the floor in the kitchen,” the Hruby family’s housekeeper told a 911 dispatcher Monday morning. “I think they’re dead. They’re ice cold.” h/t news9

 
John Hruby, his wife Tinker and their 17-year-old daughter Katherine were all dead inside their Duncan home and within hours police had the couple’s 19-year-old son, Alan Hruby, in custody for a charge unrelated to his family’s death.

Last year, John Hruby turned his son in for using his grandmother’s credit card and charging nearly $5,000 during a trip to Europe. Alan Hruby is on probation and a freshman at OU, but he’s now behind bars in Stephens County.
