Not EXACTLY sure but the woman's name was Amber. I forget the man's name. Amber Spencer I think it was. The guy that lived with them went nuts (possibly due to drugs?) and shot them both. So very sad. The gunman was later found dead in his car at a rest area. Suicide. God Bless the victims.

It was a double murder-suicide. I remember it but only remember Amber's name. Mark Heinrich (forgive me if mistaken) I think was the guys name. They were to be married later on.

you are correct on the names, but the man who shot them was NOT on drugs....no one knows what happened. His name was erik and he was dating my best friend, they had been together for years. She was the one who found amber & mark. I had actually seen them all earlier that night at the bowling alley and erik seemed completely normal. It is still horribly sad

Mark heinrich was supposed to marry amber spencer and they lived together with another friend, eric engelson. after a night of drinking they got into a fight and eric shot and killed amber and mark. he went on the run for a day or so then turned the gun on himself. I miss them all so much.
