Police Probing Triple Homicide Search For Teen
Fullerton police found two men and a woman dead inside a home after a young girl called police dispatchers Saturday morning and said her parents had died, authorities said. Authorities said Saturday night that they were also looking for a third child, 17-year-old Katlynn Goodwill Yost, who lived at the home where the deceased were found.
Upon entering the home police found all three adults dead.
Police said they are working to establish the names, ages and relationship of the three adults.
“We have some serious concerns for her safety and welfare considering she was at a residence where three deceased individuals were located”, Radus says.
“Anytime someone loses their life it’s a tragedy”. “It’s even more of a tragedy when children are involved”.
A teenage girl is being considered by police as being “at risk” after a triple murder at a home.
L.A. reports that around 8:21 a.m., police responded to the call at a home on the 400 block of Gilbert Street in Fullerton, where they found the three bodies. “Throughout the day we had detectives and investigators attempting to locate her and were unable to do so”.
“Katylnn is a 17 year old female white, approximately 5’6” tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds.
“The Fullerton Police Department has committed all its resources to identify who is responsible for committing this act”, Radus said.
Officers are still trying to determine whether an outside suspect was responsible.
‘We don’t believe the community is now in danger at this particular time, ‘ he said.
Neighbor Donna Trice, 45, said she had known the family for about three years, and it included a husband, wife and three children, one 16 years old and the others 7 and 8 or 9.
“It’s sad for the children”. They’re now without parents. The woman and the two men were not immediately identified by police.
