ST. PAUL, Minn. — The bodies of three young children and their mother were found Friday night and Saturday morning at a Vadnais Heights lake. They were initially missing in what the Ramsey County sheriff characterized as an apparent murder-suicide.
The body of a boy was pulled from Vadnais Lake on Friday evening, and the body of another boy was found after midnight Saturday. Authorities continued to search and found the body of a girl and their mother on Saturday morning. All three children were younger than 6 years, authorities said.
“Horrible facts developing,” Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher posted on his Facebook page shortly before a news conference at Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park in Vadnais Heights.
