The Stockholm Ranch, located in the middle of Carson County, Texas was darkened for the night, when the occupants were awakened by the barking of their dog. Florence says "Jim, wake up" Jim says "Huh? What's the matter Flo?" She asks "You here Jeep bark?" He says "Oh, kind of. I was half asleep". Flo says "It's funny, he barked and then shut up real fast". Jim says "He might have took off after something". Flo says "He kept on barking then..." Jim says "Be quiet for a second". Flo says "I don't hear him anymore". Jim starts to get up, and Flo asks "What are you going to do?" Jim says "I'm going to have a look-see. It ain't like Jeep to bark at nothing, then shut up". Flo says "Jim...Jim!" He asks "What's the matter? She says "Jim, somebody came in the house!" He says "Oh you probably just heard the kid tossing in his sleep". Flo says "No, I got a funny feeling!" Jim says "Alright, I'll put on a light and have a look". Flo says "I'm coming along. I want to go and see if...." At that moment, Flo starts screaming "No!.. No!"

Sheriff Lawkins notified the Texas Rangers, and Ranger Jace Pearson was assigned to the case. Lawkins and Pearson are at the scene. Lawkins says "The place is just like it was, Jace, except for the bodies". Pearson says "Kind of a mess, isn't it Sheriff. All three of them in their night clothes, you said". Lawkins says "Yeah. This is Jim and Flo's bedroom". Pearson says "Bed clothes mussed up. Whoever did the killing woke them up". Lawkins says "Might have been the dog that woke them up. Found him dead a piece from the house". Pearson said "It's funny that Jim Stockholm didn't have a gun with him". Lawkins says "Yeah, if he thought someone was prowling around outside, he would have grabbed his gun".
