Family of 5 found dead in Lake Minnetonka home

Neither the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department nor the Hennepin County sheriff’s office had released much fresh information by Friday afternoon, so it remained unclear how or when the family members died, who killed them, or why. Police found them dead while performing a welfare check after the children hadn’t been at school for two days. “Then as a family they were really close knit, did a lot of things together, vacations and sports and stuff”, she said. The news is calling it an apparent murder-suicide, but this has not been verified by the authorities and details have not yet been released.

Federal authorities on Thursday began investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed a popular South Dakota biker bar, but they cautioned that their presence did not necessarily indicate any criminal wrongdoing.

A co-worker of the father had asked police to check on the family, Siitari said.

At Minnetonka High School, where Cole, Madison and Brooklyn went to school, classmates and friends gathered Friday wearing orange and mourning the loss of the three teens. The shotgun was found near his body at the family’s multi-million dollar house.

The Tribune continued to report that the victims suffered “traumatic” injuries.

The large home, built in 1998, is near Lake Minnetonka’s St. Albans Bay. “Everybody is in shock”, Plocek said.

He and his wife, who are both retired, have lived in their home for more than 20 years. He added: “They were good neighbours”. Plocek said he often saw Short clearing snow in the winter or saw the children walking with friends on their quiet street, which has only nine houses on it. “Everyone is just so sad and can’t believe it”, he said.
