Police in Virginia are searching for answers after a couple and the woman's teenage son were killed in a mysterious triple murder, while an infant and toddler were found unharmed at the scene, said authorities.
Deputies responding to a wellness check at the home in Fredericksburg on Wednesday morning found the three victims, identified as 39-year-old Michael Coleman, 34-year-old Rachel Ozuna and 14-year-old Kyrrus Ozuna, the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office said.
