The three victims whose bodies were found after a house fire in suburban Houston Sunday morning were likely killed before the blaze.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez revealed that an accelerant was used to start the fire after a massacre at the Cypress home.
Kelly Masciarelli, Kolin Foster, and Cameryn Richard were identified as the victims. Two of the bodies were upstairs while the third was on the first floor.
The mother, son, and son’s girlfriend had signs of trauma and were dead when the fire started, investigators said.s
“As you can see, you know, the house behind me, it’s still intact. It wasn’t completely burned down,” Sgt. Michael Ritchie said.
“Not everything inside was destroyed. So we have been able to recover some evidence.”
