This is a sad, strange case. A utah couple and 3 of their children were all found dead in their home. No official cause of death yet as toxicology reports have yet to come back, but it is believed all 5 were poisoned to death. Lots of empty bottles of cough syrup/allergy medicine, methadone and other mysterious liquids were found. 2 of the kids were found in the parents bed where they normally would not have been.

Hopefully we can get some answers on this shortly.

Sounds like a mass suicide.

Well I don't think the kids committed suicide.

The parents had some scrapes with the law, so perhaps they orchestrated it.

^^^ Didn't this happen about two months ago? I vaguely remember hearing something about this on Nancy Grace.
Sounds like the parents were real kooks.

last month, this was the first I've heard about it. Usually when a whole family dies/goes missing, it gets pretty huge coverage on the news (McStays...)

Sad case. I wonder what the history was of depression, abuse and economic situation was in this family?

I do know that at least one of the parents got in trouble with the law for forgery. I'm guessing they were probably pretty desperate for cash (at least at one point).

Oh Jesus, God. It looks like the dad killed the entire lot of them because he feared a coming "apocalypse".
