HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Police in Huntsville say the deaths of a mother and her two young children appear to be a murder-suicide.
Police spokesman Lt. Stacy Bates said in an email Tuesday that the bodies of 35-year-old Connie Henriksen Foster, 10-year-old Layla Leannette House and 8-year-old David Danger House were found Monday by a relative inside their home.
He said investigators have not yet determined the cause of death, but “at this time it appears to be a murder-suicide.”
WHNT spoke with Foster’s attorney, Aaron Ryan. He told the station he represented Foster in a divorce, and was also representing her in a custody arrangement.
He said the ex-spouses were civil, but said Foster had been seeking full custody of the children.
