WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Haywood County authorities have released the names of three people found dead in a Clyde home on Monday.

Deputies were dispatched to a home on Panther Creek Road just before 8 a.m. for a female who appeared to be dead inside the residence. Upon arrival, they found two additional deceased individuals, the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The deceased were identified as Olivia Stroupe, 49, of Clyde; Robyn Moriarty, 62, of Clyde and originally from Maryland; and Jason Brunner, 42, of Maryland, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities believe one of the three was responsible for the deaths, according to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office.

“We have received several questions from the community about rumors of a manhunt,” the social media post said. “This was an isolated incident, and there has never been a manhunt nor is there a threat to the community.”

The investigation is ongoing and no further details will be released in order to protect the integrity of the case, the Facebook post said.
