A young man suspected of killing a bartender at a gay club in Ontario is now believed to have killed an elderly farm couple to get their truck.

Police warn Jesse Imeson, 22, is likely to be armed and should be considered extremely dangerous, the London Free Press reported.

The bodies of Bill and Helen Regier were found Monday in their farmhouse on the shore of Lake Huron in southwestern Ontario. Their car, a gray 2006 GMC Sierra pickup truck with the license plate JK8334, was missing.

Windsor Police Superintendent David Pickford told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that two long-barreled shotguns were stolen in a break-in nearby.

Paul Whitehead, a criminologist at the University of Western Ontario, told the Free Press that Imeson is likely to be desperate.

He'll be searching for opportunities, Whitehead said. He won't probably think them out very well and will probably do some pretty dumb things that would make his apprehension more easy than it might be if he wasn't under all this pressure.

Imeson is believed to have killed Carlos Rivera, a bartender at a Windsor club a week ago. Rivera's car was discovered near the Regniers' farm.
