"They said that the mother was murdered," said Chandler Feichter.
Feichter said he noticed something unusual on the video from the family's surveillance cameras. "There was a man and I think it was the father, or the husband, and he was walking around just like going back and forth and seemed like his car kept going flashing on and off like he was clicking the button. I don't know he just kept walking back and forth acting strange," he told CBS4's Maggie Newland. He said police took that video.
People who live nearby were shocked to wake up to a crime scene. "Police officers came to my door," said Patrick Roberts who lives a few houses down. Roberts knew the husband who lived at the house.
