SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Police in northwestern Iowa have identified a man and a woman found dead inside a Sioux City home this week in what investigators now believe was a murder-suicide.
Police said it appears Nicholas Socknat, 60, fatally shot his wife, 52-year-old Kelli Socknat, before then turning the gun on himself, the Sioux City Journal reported. Detectives are awaiting autopsy results on the bodies from the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office.
Officers were called to the Socknats’ home Thursday morning to check on their welfare and called family members when they couldn’t gain access to the home. Police were called again about an hour later when a family member reported finding a body inside the home.

The final details for an upcoming jury trial of a Fort Dodge man accused of killing the Rev. Al Henderson were hashed out in a Webster County courtroom on Friday afternoon.
Joshua Pendleton, 37, of Fort Dodge, is accused of killing Henderson in the parking lot of St. Paul Lutheran Church on the evening of Oct. 2, 2019. He was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
Pendleton’s jury trial is scheduled to start April 19 at the Scott County Courthouse in Davenport. The venue for the trial was moved to Scott County by order of the court in July after the defense attorneys raised concern about extensive pretrial media coverage possibly impeding the impartiality of the jury pool.
