TikTok influencer Sara Gilson, also known as Sara Duffey, posted weeks ago alleging that her husband was a pedophile. The estranged couple has since been found shot to death in the woman's Oklahoma home in what is reportedly believed to have been a murder-suicide.
Gilson, who had recently filed a protective order against her husband, 48-year-old Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey, posted the TikTok video on July 11. It was captioned, "Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon-to-be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile." The video was still visible on her account as of Saturday.
Thirteen days after she posted that video, police reportedly responded to a domestic call on July 24 at 41-year-old Gilson's home. When officers arrived, they found Gilson and Duffey dead from apparent gunshot wounds, according to local outlet KTUL.
KTUL cited an extended family member who identified the pair as the dead bodies in the home and said that Jeremiah, who went by Shawn, allegedly broke into the home, killed Sara and then himself. Police confirmed the couple's identities, according to local outlet KRMG, but did not say if it was a murder-suicide.
Police insisted there was no threat to the public at this time, according to KRMG.

Authorities also said that the 911 call came from a juvenile in the house, the local media outlets reported.
Duffey had been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Gilson as part of her June 10 protective order against him.
On the same day she filed her protective order, another woman filed for a separate protective order against Duffey after he was allegedly spotted "kissing and fondling" her 15-year-old daughter, who played on the youth basketball team Duffey coached, according to The Oklahoman.
Duffey had allegedly been sending the girl inappropriate messages and had given her money "to keep her quiet," the outlet reported.
After the coach was allegedly spotted with the girl, a report had been filed to the Owasso Police Department.
