Police investigating double death in Rusk County

The Rusk County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the deaths of Matthew Thomas Rawley, and Erica Nicole Rawley, of Frisco, Texas.

At approximately 9:30pm, on Sunday, Rusk County Deputies were sent to the Northern part of the county to the Gator Run RV Park in reference to a welfare concern. The victims were supposed to be leaving the park at 11:00am, Sunday morning, February 7, 2010.

Monday afternoon, investigators with the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office were notified that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
