Preliminary investigations found no signs of forced entry. Police believe the homicides may be domestic related and not random. A car related to the home was missing from the driveway but has been recovered and will be processed for evidence.
The person of interest is a third resident of the home, Bradley Lister, 33. He is a person of interest because police believe he may have information about the circumstances leading to the homicides, and police want to check on his welfare. He remains unaccounted for.
