According to the sheriff’s office, Uchyn was a “known resident” at the address where the bodies were found. He was believed to have left the area in a white 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, the sheriff’s office said.

“Homicides don’t happen often in Darke County, but when they do, we’re going to do our best, we’re going to do a thorough investigation and get to the bottom of it, and we will hold the responsible party responsible and see that they get prosecuted,” Darke County Sheriff Mark Whittaker told WHIO.
