The sheriff’s office conducted a comprehensive investigation that included an autopsy by Dallas County Medical Examiners Office.  The result of that investigation confirmed a murder/suicide had occurred. Evidence shows 54 year old Joe Dan Edmonson took the life of his wife, 48 year old Melinda Edmonson before taking his own.   Our prayers are with the family.
