Double homicide investigation after grandparents found dead in mobile home park

Sun Sentinel

A married couple was found dead Friday afternoon in their Pompano Beach mobile home, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

BSO said a Golf View Estates Mobile Home park neighbor of Rita Fortin and Marc Gagne decided to check on the couple after they hadn’t been seen for a few days.

Nobody answered knocks, but the door was unlocked. The neighbor entered and saw the bodies of Gagne, 80, and Fortin, 78, natives of Saint-Côme-Linière, Quebec province in Canada.

A gofundme page has been set up by the family for costs related to this murder.

Anyone who might know anything about the Gagnes’ deaths can contact BSO homicide Detective Barbara Dyer at 954-321-4262 or, to remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a reward, Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or go to browardcrimestoppers.org.
