MINNEAPOLIS — A series of events that started with the report of a possible suicide in an east-metro mobile home park had by Saturday become what authorities who recovered four bodies from a Ramsey County lake were calling a triple homicide.
Along the peaceful shoreline of Vadnais Lake, the bodies of three children under the age of 6, and of their mother, were taken from the water by police and rescue workers following an exhaustive search at the Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park that started Friday afternoon and stretched into Saturday morning.
Police on Saturday called the incident in Vadnais Heights a "possible triple murder-suicide," but many questions remained. They did not release the identities of those who died or their exact manners of death. They did not describe the relationship between the initial suicide on Friday morning to what followed except to say they're believed to be connected.
