Police found a rifle in Vanderbilt’s Dodge Ram truck and the keys in Vanderbilt’s pocket along with shell casings, according to court documents. Vanderbilt told police that he was inside a house with his mother when he heard the shots and asked the woman if she was okay, according to court documents. He denied shooting the couple and said he had collected some shell casings in the area as souvenirs. He also told officers that he did not possess firearms and claimed that someone had planted a rifle in his vehicle without his knowledge.
