PINELLAS PARK — The young couple welcomed the New Year from the swanky Don CeSar Beach Resort.

Wearing silly hats and grinning at the camera, Owen Lollar and Paula Dale-Lollar had reason to celebrate. Married six years, they flew all over the world after collecting an inheritance. Pictures showed them at a ski slope, posing in front of a Christmas tree and drinking with friends.

They had "a very, very loving relationship," said Owen's stepbrother, Jason Armstrong, 33.

So how did they end up shot to death in a pickup truck in an abandoned parking lot on Monday?

Police think it was a murder suicide and wonder how the couple fell so far.

The family isn't so sure.
