As a SWAT team is trying to bring to an end a hostage situation, they find that it already ended in a deadly conclusion.
On Tuesday, the Reno police department responded to a North Reno home, where a woman found one of her two roommates dead from gunshot wounds. When police got there, they learned that a third roommate, Debby Constantino, was missing and her estranged husband, Mark Constantino may be the suspect.
Police say Constantino took his estranged wife Debbie against her will, after allegedly killing her roommate. Officers were able to locate both Mark and Debby, who appeared in the reality show Ghost Adventures, by pinning their cell phones, bringing officers to the Courtside Garden Apartments.
Investigators said when they tried to talk to Mark, the situation turned violent. At that point, shots were fired from inside the apartment, and a male voice told them to leave.
Police were able to get a hold of Mark Constantino on the phone, and through negotiations they found out that Debby was also inside the apartment and was being held hostage.
Officers began negotiating with Mark, but after several hours of trying to get Constantino to surrender, they eventually used explosives to blow the door open and found the couple dead.
Police did not say how they were killed or what kind of gun was used.
According to police department, none of the officers shot rounds and no one else was injured by the gunfire.
Investigators continue to work on determining the cause of death of the man in North Reno, as well as Debby and Mark Constantino.
Mark and Debby Constantino first appeared on television in 2007, they were both paranormal investigators, specializing on EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomenon.
According to court records, the couple's relationship turned violent earlier this year.
