FORT RECOVERY -- The Mercer County Sheriff says he's confident his detectives will find the person who murdered two people from Fort Recovery.
Nearly a year ago, 70-year-old Robert Grube and his 47-year-old daughter Colleen were found inside their small home on Burrville Road, bound with duct tape and shot dead.
The community, is still feeling the pain from the tragedy.
"We all miss him, we all miss him in the community," said Gerry Kaup, family friend.
He talks about how the small town of Fort Recovery has never been the same.
"We're still upset by it," he said, "But we would love to have that solved so we could find some closure or ending to that incident."
Today at the MerCounty Sheriff's Office, they're optimistic they'll find the killer.
"Before I said my confidence level was high," said Sheriff Jeff Grey, Mercer County Sheriff's Office, "Today I'm saying it's very high."
Sheriff Grey also said they interviewed 250 people, narrowing their search.
"We have some individuals that I'm not comfortable calling a suspect quite yet at this point, but we are very curious about them and that is our focus at this point," he said.
And with that focus, the community is hoping for resolution.
"Everyone would love to see that solved," said Kaup, "We continue to live the way we live and do what we do but we are certainly more aware of the fact that these things do occur in the world and we're upset by that."
There is a 20-thousand-dollar reward being offered for anyone with information leading to an arrest.
If you have information, you are urged to call the mercer County Sheriff's Office at (419) 596-7724.
