The investigation isn’t over -- a Porsche 911 and Dodge Ram truck are missing from the victim’s home -- but investigators have information that one of the suspects allegedly had the vehicles towed, which could aid in relocating them.

Since early April, Douglas County sheriff’s investigators have recovered 20 guns as part of several ongoing investigations.
