UPDATE: PCB Police investigating after 2 bodies found

PANAMA CITY BEACH — Housekeepers found the bodies of a man and a woman shot to death in a 24th floor condominium around 10 a.m. Friday, police said.

Police identified the couple as Robert and Susan Marcinkus of Kenosha, Wis.

Panama City Beach police are investigating the deaths, said Capt. Robert Clarkson. While Clarkson wouldn’t confirm the case is being investigated as a murder-suicide, he described the crime as “self-contained” and said people didn’t need to worry that the shooter was at large.

Police found a handgun they believe was used in the shooting at the scene.

The couple had arrived in Panama City Beach earlier this week from their home in Wisconsin and were scheduled to check out of their room at the Tidewater Beach Resort on Front Beach Road on Friday morning, Clarkson said.

“We do know that they were here on vacation,” Clarkson said. “They were due to check out today. That’s why housekeeping looked in the room.”

A resort representative had no comment Friday afternoon.

Criminal and crime scene investigators remained on the scene working to determine what happened, Clarkson said.

According to KenoshaNews.com, Susan Marcinkus was formerly the head of a city-county law enforcement support services department but retired from that post several years ago. The Kenosha school system lists Robert Marcinkus as a teacher.
