Investigators are gathering evidence from Facebook accounts believed to be connected to a 19-year-old who police say is accused in the shooting deaths of his newspaper publisher father and family.
The Oklahoman reports Alan Hruby is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his father John Hruby, mother Tinker Hruby and sister Katherine Hruby at their home in Duncan. John Hruby was publisher of the weekly newspaper The Marlow Review.
Last month, the district attorney's chief investigator received a judge's permission to collect data from two Facebook pages thought to be made by Alan Hruby. Investigator Justin Scott wrote in court affidavits Hruby had posted some comments that showed he disliked his family.
The judge in the case has issued a gag order that prohibits attorneys and others involved in the case from discussing it publicly.
