Woman, man die in murder-suicide inside Plainfield home

PLAINFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — A man and woman died inside a Plainfield home early Monday morning in what police called a “murder-suicide.”

Plainfield Police Department officers were called to a home in the 5800 block of Grevillea Lane, near Moon and Miles roads, following a report of a burglary around 4 a.m.

Police arrived and discovered a shattered basement entry window and found two people deceased inside the home — a woman who lived there and a man she knew.

They were later identified as 41-year-old Ryan Gibbs and 47-year-old Jessica Stoebick. Investigators revealed that Gibbs was the estranged ex-husband of Stoebick.

Officials say three teenagers inside the home were not injured and called the police.

“This investigation is profoundly challenging for the affected family, particularly given the holiday
season. We ask for the community’s support in keeping the family in their thoughts and prayers
during this difficult time. We appreciate the understanding of our community as our officers and
detectives diligently work through this investigation, which is often a meticulous and timeconsuming process.”
