On Wednesday, June 20,  between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. thieves broke into the home of Dennis and Cindy Higdon of  Higdon Road in Clarkson. The Higdon’s son, Christian Higdon, was murdered on Saturday, June 16.

The thieves made off a jewelry box containing several necklaces and rings, four long guns (Thompson Center single-shot Mach III rifle, Iticha 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun, 20-gauge double barrel shotgun-unknown make, and a Charter Arms .223 rifle with a mounted scope), two Milwaukee brand hammer drills, a Garmin GPS, three Toshiba laptop computers with one charging cable, an Xbox 360 Kinect, a Nintendo Wii game console, and a few hundred dollars in loose change and silver half dollars.
