StumbleInvestigators think deaths a murder-suicide
Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1998 | 10:03 a.m.
The bodies of Shannon Ratcliff, 21, and Michael Bernier, 34, of Silver Springs were found Saturday in Bernier's car in an area called Misfit Flats about three miles south of U.S. 50.
Lyon County Sheriff's Investigator Jim Cassell said it was fairly certain that Bernier was responsible for both deaths.
Two bullet slugs were recovered from the woman and one from the man during autopsies Monday in Reno.
The area where the bodies were found was used for some of the wild mustang scenes during the filming of the John Huston movie, "The Misfits," starring Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe.
