On the night of August 31, 1986, 65-Year-old William Delton Frost and his 60-year-old invalid wife, Callie was fatally shot in their two-room home in Downsville, Louisiana.
The front door had been smashed in and police believed the motive was robbery because Frost didn’t trust banks and was believed to keep his cash in a suitcase in the home. The shots appeared to have been fired through a window. Their bodies were discovered 2 days later.
