RENTON, Wash. Washington authorities say a suspect in the deaths of his elderly grandparents is considered "an extreme danger to the public and police."

King County Sheriff's detectives say they believe 26-year-old Michael (Chad) Boysen may be seeking to obtain firearms because he has been searching for gun shows on the Internet.

Authorities have accused Boysen of killing his 82-year-old grandfather and 80-year-old grandmother in their Renton home late Friday or early Saturday.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West says their bodies were discovered Saturday. The cause of the deaths hasn't been released.

At first police said he wasn't connected to the deaths, but later he was named a suspect.

He had recently been released from prison after serving a year for burglary.

CBS Seattle affiliate KIRO says the release came Friday.

People who knew Boysen told KIRO he loved his grandparents, but was also troubled. Boysen was addicted to prescription drugs and would steal from those closest to him, which landed him behind bars, the station says.

Police are also searching for the victims' missing red 2001 Chrysler 300.

They died form natural causes "Death" is usually a cause of such things

Glad to see no one below me is jumping to conclusions about whether guns were involved in this couples death

Neither this article or others on the web say how these poor people died BUT not one of them says they were shot. Yet notice how libridiots (liberal idiots) manage to weave guns into the story somehow? Another sign that guns are being vilified even if they are not used.

ANYTHING to push a gun grabbing agenda. Right, morons?

It's the guns fault do doubt.

We don't do background checks and we don't give a psychological test before people buy guns! Guess what, guns take lives. They ARE killing machines.

Wrong!

nosnobs says: "We don't do background checks..." yadda-yadda-yadda

So, the ability to write no longer goes hand in hand with reading? You really should learn to read an entire article before commenting.

Nowhere in this article is any mention of gun deaths, only some chicken little LEOs commenting how the accused MAY be looking for gun sources on the internet....

I guess he learned to be a better citizen from his prison experience! Yup, the current loopholes in the law make it fairly simple for this psych/druggie to get all the guns and stuff he wants... which is a serious problem for our society. Another situation which should be a teachable moment - and not to have granny and pops fitted out with a Glock! Lots of folks had to have observed this guys behaviors and drug issues and did zero to get him help, as usual. Prison time was likely spent polishing floors or somesuch bogus passtime instead of some sort of help/self improvement/therapy programs too! What a waste.

September 2, 1945 there were virtually no illegal drug users in the United States.
At least no one or almost no one was using heroin. Marijuana I would bet was still being used on a very small scale. No one was using Cocaine.
You should ask your self why? and what happened? The police needed power that is all there is to it.

granny should have had a glock. They would have arrested her but no more problem.

My prayers go out to the family. I hope they soon find the grandson, if he's the one to do that to his grandparents it's hard to say what he would do next.
