What happened to Tanya and Rayna Roy?
West Lafayette Police Department responded to a report of two people found unresponsive in an alley between an apartment complex and Westwood Apartment on the 100 block of Pierce Street, in Lafayette County, Indiana, on Wednesday.
The Tippecanoe County coroner’s office identified the two women as Tanya Roy and Rayna Roy, 25-year-old twin sisters.
According to West Lafayette Police Lt. Jason Philhower, who told the media about 10 p.m. “We originally responded to a report of two people in an alleyway with blood all over them,”
Philhower told the media that a bystander who called the authorities also attempted CRP to save the women before police arrived but was unsuccessful.
The two sisters were pronounced dead at the scene. Philhower said, “This is an ongoing death investigation.”
The bystander who also witnessed the incident told the media that the sisters had jumped from an apartment balcony on a higher floor.
WLPD Lt. John Edgar said that he observed injuries that appeared to be consistent with a fall. He told the media that police searched the seventh-floor apartment, presumably where the girls lived.
He told the media that the unfortunate young woman’s parents were visiting from New York State, and upon their arrival at the apartment, the police greeted them. The parents were going to help the twins move back. The officers could not allow the parents into the apartment. The heartbroken parents returned to the alley where the
police had sealed off the area of the scene to the general public.
An official report will be released regarding the cause of death after scheduled for Friday autopsies.
