Hudson Homicide Victims' Names Released

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has released its preliminary findings.

The identities of the four people found dead outside a Hudson home Thursday have been released.

The grisly discovery was made when deputies attempted to perform a welfare check at the 7719 Hatteras Drive home and discovered 4-year-old Ismael Santisteban missing. That sparked a manhunt for the man police believe is the boy’s biologicalΒ father, Adam Matos, who was later discovered in downtown Tampa, along with the child.

According to preliminary reports form the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, the victims are as follows:
