Police were able to track Constantino’s cell phone to another apartment, where they found she was being held by her estranged husband, according to KTVN. A voice inside said: “Give me 15 minutes to gather my thoughts or I’ll kill her”. Failed negotiations with the police followed and officers had to eventually blow open the door. Incidents in their violent history ranged from an argument over money resulting in a scratched face, kitchen knife-sliced arm, domestic violence and battery charges, broken noses, strangulation, kidnapping, and the list goes on. They report that “Mark allegedly killed Debby, another man and himself as the chaotic personal life of the estranged couple unraveled”. The facts indicate that shots were fired, but police have not said how Debbie or Mark died. They were tracked to that location after another man was found dead at Debby’s home.
Officials have not released the identity nor any possible relationship between the dead male roommate and the Constantinos.
A couple of television paranormal investigators have been found dead in their daughter’s home after a dramatic SWAT team standoff.
Police said an autopsy was conducted but that the exact circumstances of the deaths has not been determined.
The Constantinos were featured in recent years on the Travel Channel series, including episodes shot at the Mustang Ranch brothel east of Reno, Goldfield Hotel and Market Street Cinema in San Francisco. Six weeks ago, Mark and Raquel were accused of kidnapping and strangling Debby.
Zak Bagans, the host of “Ghost Adventures“, said it was “a very tragic dark day”, in a message on Twitter on Tuesday. Mark said he only began to experience paranormal activity after he met Debby. In March, Debby was arrested and charged with domestic violence after a dispute with mark.
