The Escambia County sheriff said on Saturday that two people are being questioned in the murder of Byrd and Melanie Billings. The couple was shot and killed in their rural home on Thursday night, in what police believe was a home invasion.
A red Dodge van was caught on the families’ surveillance cameras leaving the Beulah, Florida home the night of the murders.
The sheriff said, “Interviews with associated neighbors, friends and family” led authorities to a relative of the owner of the van and another person, who are both being questioned.

According to the sheriff, investigators can tie the two people “to enough significant events and instances in this case that would lead a reasonable person to believe that they have an association with these murders.”
A third person believed to be involved in the crime has not been found.
The Billings had 16 children—12 adopted children and two children each from previous marriages.
