Kellen C. McKinney (pictured, left), 27, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the deaths of John Caylor, 79, and his wife, Mildred, 76.

A customer who had gone to the Caylor's Bible and Book Store Oct. 20 noticed the door to the business was locked and looked through a window and saw a body on the floor.

Police forced their way in and found the Caylors dead. Investigators said that it appears the couple were killed during a botched robbery.

Investigators said detectives found a bag near the cash register with a bloodstain on it. Crime lab analysts said the genetic profile matched that of McKinney, who had at one time been in custody of the Kansas Department of Corrections.

KMBC reported that McKinney was arrested when he showed up for work Thursday. He is being held without bond.

Police said that there could be other suspects. The investigation continues.
