Security cameras outside the West Milton Police Division recorded the events in the parking lot. The murders of Gustitus and Jaymee are being investigated by the division along with the Sugarcreek Township Police Division, the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Wright-Patterson Office of Special Investigations.
