KIMBERLY — A man suspected of shooting and killing his girlfriend and himself in a murder-suicide Thursday was in the midst of a felony domestic violence case stemming from an incident in May, police records show.

Lora Skeahan, 48, and Paul Mueller, 65, were found dead from gunshot wounds in a Kimberly home early Thursday afternoon, the Kimberly-Hansen Police Department said in a statement Friday. Mueller died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Coroner Gene Turley said.

The coroner's office is ruling the case a murder-suicide, Turley said late Friday afternoon. Autopsies were conducted in Boise earlier that day.

This wasn’t the first time Kimberly police had responded to a call at Skeahan’s home. On May 30, Mueller was arrested and charged with domestic battery after a neighbor called police and said she heard yelling and thumping sounds coming from the house.

Skeahan told the responding officers that Mueller had pushed her down the stairs during an argument, breaking both of her wrists, according to an affidavit from the May incident. She said that Mueller got angry and physically aggressive with her about once a month.

Mueller was charged again two weeks later, this time with violating a no-contact order against Skeahan. A search of Skeahan’s phone showed that Mueller had called her six times over three days the previous week, police said. When an officer went to Skeahan’s home to confirm the calls, she found Mueller there as well, according to an affidavit.

Police found both Skeahan and Mueller dead Thursday during a welfare check at Friendly Village Mobile Home Park.

The deaths are under investigation by the Kimberly-Hansen Police Department. Police believe the incident was isolated and that there is no danger to the public, Police Chief Jeff Perry said.

Kimberly is a city of about 3,300 people located just east of Twin Falls.
