The authorities were alerted to a potential burglary at a home located in the 5800 block of Grevillea Lane at approximately 3:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered a shattered basement window and the lifeless bodies of two adults inside the residence. The Plainfield Police Department immediately called in their detectives to initiate a thorough investigation of the crime scene.

Deputy Chief Joe Aldridge of the Plainfield Police Department stated, “Our agency is now treating this case as a murder-suicide.” The deceased individuals have been identified as 47-year-old Jessica Diane Stoebick, the homeowner, and her estranged husband, 41-year-old Ryan Gibbs, who was the intruder responsible for the break-in.
