Couple Found Dead In North Jersey Home, Son In Custody: PD

WASHINGTON, WARREN COUNTY, NJ — An elderly couple was found dead inside their Washington Township, Warren County, home Sunday night, and their son is in custody, police said.

Joyanne J. Warner, 73, and Frank N. Warner, 73, were found in their Peregrine Drive home around 5:45 p.m. Sunday night, police said in a release. Todd S. Warner, 50, is currently in police custody in connection to their deaths, officials said.

More information will be released at a later time, officials said. It's not clear if Warner has been charged with anything as of Monday evening.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office told Patch she could not clarify the relationship between Todd Warner and the Joyanne and Frank Warner at this time. Warren County Prosecutor Richard Burke said has said he is their son and was living with them in an adult living community, according to nj.com.

It's not clear how the Warners died, but their death is being treated as a crime, police said. Burke told NJ.com there is evidence of blunt force trauma.

"It appears to be an isolated incident, as more information becomes available we will update you," police said on their Facebook page.

The Warners were local business owners, having run Frank Anthony Salon in Chester for more than 50 years. They were set to retire in December, and had hoped to travel, their daughter told NJ.com.

It's not clear who called police to the home Sunday night.
