Authorities in Carolina Forest are investigating the deaths of an elementary school employee and her two kids as a double murder-suicide after their bodies were found Wednesday.
The Horry County Police Department identified the woman as 42-year-old Laura Moberly describing her as a “suspect” in the incident report.
“Once officers arrived on scene, they tried to make contact with the residents with no contact made,” the report read.
“Officers forced entry at the front door and located the suspect and 2 victims inside the home unresponsive and not breathing. EMS was contacted and after arriving on scene they pronounced all 3 deceased.”
The HCPD mourned the deaths of the two children, identified as an 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, and did not mention Moberly, their mother.
“What we can say at this point is that the incident remains under investigation,” the county’s public information officer added.
