King County Sheriff's Office investigators have discovered at least six bodies at a rural property near Carnation, apparent victims in a multiple homicide.

Deputies have located the remains of six men and women at the densely wooded lot in the 1800 block of 346th Avenue Northeast. Investigators, who are still searching for additional bodies at the property, have yet to release details on the killings.

"This is a very big and complex crime scene," said Bob Conner, a detective with the sheriff's office.

Deputies were called to the home Wednesday morning after a friend of the family living there discovered the dead.

A sheriff's office spokesman said initially that three bodies were found at the scene, but the department has since said that additional victims have been located.

11. It kills some; it saves others

A lot of people have summer SAD like I do. I suspect we'd trace a fraction of violent crime
back to subtle signatures like weather patterns, though.

13. I have summer SAD!

It sucks.

15. It definitely does. I live in Los Angeles, but I'm retiring to Washington

The less sunshine, the better.

3. Wow. :(

Whoever those people are, I hope they can be identified. I imagine their families will want the closure.

And I hope they know who the monster is (or monsters are) that did this.

Awful. :(

6. How horribly tragic for this family!

I was just told by a hunter and fisherman that they now have to keep a lookout
when hunting/fishing because they have been shot at by meth cookers. Cookers think
everyone in the woods are Feds and just start shooting.

7. ""She was a great employee, well-liked."

Very nice sentiment, but beside the point. If they weren't well liked, would the murders have been any less tragic?

Why isn't the basic loss of life tragedy enough for a news report?

Six people, likely three generations of a family, were found dead Wednesday at a rural property east of Seattle, and police arrested two people who knew the victims, authorities said.

The two, a 29-year-old woman and a man in his early 30s, were being held for investigation of homicide, King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.

He said they knew the victims, but the pair's own relationship was unclear. They came to the crime scene after investigators arrived there this morning, were questioned by investigators, then arrested around 4 p.m.

Urquhart said investigators had not determined a motive in the slayings.

The victims included a boy about age 3, a girl about age 6, a man and woman in their 30s, and a man and woman in their 50s. Their names were not released, but they were "likely three generations" of one family, Urquhart said.

CARNATION, Wash. - Six people, likely three generations of a family, were found dead Wednesday at a rural property east of Seattle, and a law enforcement official said police arrested the property owner's daughter and her boyfriend.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the names, said the pair were Michele Anderson, 29, and her boyfriend, Joseph McEnroe.

Both were booked into the King County Jail late Wednesday for investigation of six counts of homicide.

SEATTLE - Court documents detail six methodical killings that began on Christmas Eve when a woman and her boyfriend shot her parents at their rural home, dragged their bodies to a shed, then gunned down the woman's brother, his wife and their two young children.

What the documents don't say is why.

Michele K. Anderson and Joseph Thomas McEnroe, both 29, were ordered held without bail after a court hearing Thursday. Formal charges had not yet been filed, but prosecutors scheduled a news conference for Friday morning to discuss the case.

In police affidavits filed in court Thursday, sheriff's Detective John Pavlovich described the horrific killings he said McEnroe outlined to authorities, but the detective made no mention of motive.

First, Pavlovich wrote, McEnroe and Anderson shot her parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and Judy Anderson, 61, using large-caliber pistols and dragged the bodies to a shed. A short time later, the Andersons' son, Scott, his wife, Erica — both 32 — and their children, Olivia, 6, and Nathan, 3, arrived for a Christmas Eve visit.

14. I heard about this on the news, so horrible.

But I need to read through this entire thread, since the actions of the accused, why they did it, escaping from the scene and then returning, made no sense to me and the news desk certainly had to explanation...:-(
