The Home Was in Foreclosure. Then Two People Were Found Dead Inside.

The Harrisburg home went through foreclosure proceedings before firefighters responded to a fire and discovered Gary Gibson and Alysse Saucedo dead inside.

6524 Fairfax Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17111

The property had gone through foreclosure proceedings.

The couple living inside was reportedly being evicted.

Then firefighters were called to 6524 Fairfax Drive and discovered two people dead, four dogs dead and evidence that a fire had been burning in three separate locations inside the house.

But investigators soon discovered something even more troubling.

One of the people inside had apparently been dead for at least 24 hours before anyone called for help.

Firefighters Respond to 6524 Fairfax Drive

At approximately 10:20 a.m. on Sunday, March 30, 2025, Lower Paxton Township Police and multiple fire departments were dispatched to 6524 Fairfax Drive for a residential fire with possible entrapment.

Firefighters arrived to a working fire.

The residence was secured, so crews forced their way through the front door and entered a smoke-filled house with extremely limited visibility.

On the second floor, firefighters found 33-year-old Alysse Saucedo unresponsive in a hallway.

They carried her outside to the front yard, but she never regained consciousness.

Firefighters then discovered a man dead inside the second-floor master bathroom.

He was later identified as 40-year-old Gary Gibson.

Gibson and Saucedo were living together at the residence.

Gary Gibson Had Been Dead for at Least 24 Hours

Autopsies revealed that both Gibson and Saucedo had suffered gunshot wounds to the head.

But their deaths were not ruled the same way.

Gibson's death was ruled a homicide.

Saucedo's death was ruled a suicide.

Investigators determined that Gibson had been dead for at least 24 hours before police and firefighters were dispatched to Fairfax Drive.

Saucedo had been dead for several hours.

A handgun was recovered close to Saucedo's body in the second-floor hallway. Police said the gun was registered to her.

Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo subsequently told WGAL that investigators determined Saucedo shot Gibson before taking her own life.

Authorities have not publicly identified a motive.

Investigators Found Three Fire Sources

The investigation then revealed another unusual element of what happened inside the house.

Investigators didn't identify a single point where the fire began.

They identified three separate fire sources.

One involved combustibles near the interior of the front door.

Another involved combustibles near the headboard in the master bedroom.

The third involved combustibles near the threshold between the master bedroom and master bathroom.

That third location was close to the bathroom where Gibson was found.

According to police, the fire had been burning at all three locations for an extended period before emergency responders arrived.

Investigators detected no ignitable liquids.

Police have disclosed where Gibson and Saucedo were found. However, those locations should not automatically be interpreted as the exact locations where the fatal gunshots occurred.

Four Dogs Were Also Found Dead

There was another tragic discovery inside 6524 Fairfax Drive.

Four dogs were found dead on the first floor.

Three additional dogs were discovered outside the residence alive and were placed in the care of the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area.

The Property's Troubled History Began Before the Deaths

The story of 6524 Fairfax Drive didn't begin on March 30.

Property records show that Alysse L. Saucedo and Raul Saucedo-Ramirez acquired the property in 2016.

The recorded deed identified Saucedo and Saucedo-Ramirez as husband and wife.

Years later, the property became the subject of a mortgage foreclosure action.

Official Dauphin County records identify the case as:

Members 1st Federal Credit Union v. Alysse L. Saucedo and Raul Saucedo-Ramirez

The foreclosure judgment was filed under case number 2023-CV-03997.

A Dauphin County Sheriff's notice stated that 6524 Fairfax Drive had been seized and taken into execution to be sold as the property of Saucedo and Saucedo-Ramirez.

A sheriff's sale was scheduled for July 18, 2024.

By 2025, Saucedo Was Living There With Gary Gibson

Whatever had happened in Saucedo's personal life since the 2016 purchase, by March 2025 police said she was living at 6524 Fairfax Drive with Gary Gibson.

Local reporting identified Gibson as her boyfriend.

ABC27 reported that neighbors had previously heard the couple arguing.

And WGAL uncovered another important detail about the property:

The house had been foreclosed, and Saucedo and Gibson were reportedly being evicted.

That puts the foreclosure directly into the timeline leading up to the deaths.

But it does not establish a motive.

Police and the Dauphin County District Attorney have not publicly said that the foreclosure, eviction, financial problems or reported arguments caused Saucedo to kill Gibson.

Those circumstances are part of the documented background.

Why Gibson was killed remains publicly unexplained.

Did the House Burn Down?

No reliable source reviewed by DiedInHouse.com establishes that 6524 Fairfax Drive burned to the ground.

In fact, reporting from the day of the fire indicates otherwise.

Lower Paxton Township Deputy Fire Chief Brett Graham said crews arrived to a working fire and quickly extinguished it.

Firefighters were able to enter the structure, search both floors and remove Saucedo from the second floor.

So describing the property as having "burned down" would go beyond the available evidence.

What Is Happening With 6524 Fairfax Drive Today?

The property's foreclosure history did not simply disappear after the deaths.

Foreclosure marketplace Auction.com has displayed 6524 Fairfax Drive as a foreclosure-sale property, identifying it as a 2007 single-family residence and showing an auction associated with the address.

That does not necessarily mean someone can currently purchase the property through an ordinary real-estate listing. Foreclosure and auction properties can move through a different process than homes listed conventionally through an agent.

The property's ultimate ownership and condition should therefore be verified through current Dauphin County deed and assessment records rather than inferred solely from consumer real-estate websites.

An Ordinary Address With a History You Would Never See From the Street

From the outside, 6524 Fairfax Drive was simply another suburban address.

Its documented history now tells a very different story.

The property became involved in foreclosure proceedings.

The people still living there were reportedly facing eviction.

Gary Gibson was killed inside.

Investigators determined that he had been dead for at least 24 hours before emergency responders arrived.

Alysse Saucedo died by suicide.

Investigators found fire burning from three separate interior sources.

And four dogs died inside the residence.

It's exactly the kind of history that illustrates the difference between researching a house and researching an address.

A home inspection can tell you about the physical condition of a property.

An appraisal can help determine its value.

A title search can reveal ownership and liens.

But those services aren't specifically designed to uncover every crime, death, fire or other potentially significant event associated with an address.

For some buyers, that history matters.
