On November 13, 2017, authorities in Menahga, Minnesota, responded to a 911 call shortly after midnight and discovered the bodies of 67-year-old Michael Callahan and 82-year-old Carl Albin. Both men were found dead from gunshot wounds in a house located at 814 Oak Avenue Northeast. The incident was later identified as a murder-suicide.
Michael Callahan and Carl Albin were not the homeowners but had been living in the house for over 15 years.
Family members were in town to attend the funeral of Albin's partner, Olga, who had passed away from lung cancer just days before. The tragic event shocked the community, as both men were well-known and liked.
The investigation revealed that Carl Albin, aged 82, was the perpetrator of the murder-suicide. No other suspects were involved, and no arrests were made. The bodies were transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office for autopsies. The motive behind the incident remains unclear, but it was a devastating blow to the families and friends of both men.
