Devol, 29, was arrested in Salina on Wednesday.

"We're not at the point where we are going to discuss a motive," said Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Cocha Heyden.

The two victims were 24-year-old Bryan Todd Gray and 32-year-old Jessica Ann Mitchell. Investigators believe Gray and Mitchell were killed on Monday night in the Franktown area. A dog was found dead on the property where the victims were found. Surveillance video allegedly shows Devol at the property at the time of the killings. The image from a closed circuit camera shows a man carrying what appears to be a gun.

Devol worked for the town of Castle Rock for about 10 years as a plant mechanic with water department.

"Casey had done work out here at my place and he's just the type of guy who always seemed extremely upfront and honest and would give you the shirt off his back," said Andi Hauser who lived near Devol's home. "My initial reaction is that it just seemed extremely out of character from the person that I know. And I am in shock. And my heart's broken for everybody involved."

A friend if the victims told CBS4 there had been a conflict between the couple and Devol about a year ago, but it was not clear what it was about.
