The hunt was on Monday for two suspects after the bodies of a man and a woman turned inside their home in Massachusetts — reportedly shot and wrapped in rugs and plastic.
(FOX)- Police called the murder scene in Peabody “messy and cluttered,” and had to use a special X-ray machine to figure out how many victims there were, Fox 25 reported.
The man and woman who died were dating and lived together in the house, according to the news station. They were identified as 37-year-old Mark Greenlaw and 39-year-old Jennifer O’Connor.
Investigators did not name the two suspects. They apparently were driving a 1992 Acura and could be armed, WBZ added.
The murders weren’t a random act — and officers had been to the home “for all kinds of incidents,” Police Chief Thomas Griffin said. Neighbors told Fox 25 the home was rented out by a 67-year-old permanently disabled man named David Moise.
The bodies turned up Sunday — hours after a woman ran out of the home and flagged down a car that brought her to the state police barracks in Danvers late Saturday, according to a spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney’s Office.
