Family found dead in Fargo, police suspect possible Vol serial killer By Mona Bass, CNN Mon October 8, 2012 (CNN) - It was a somber morning in Fargo North Dakota today, where a family of five was found brutally murdered in their home. The killing is thought to be tied to a string of other murders across the midwestern United States, all taking place over the past several months. Clayton and Eve Gowdy, along with their three children, were all pronounced dead at the scene when police entered around 8pm on Sunday evening, after receiving a call from a concerned neighbor who noticed that the house lights had not been turned on for several days, despite the family car parked in the driveway. Though specific details were not released, in a Tuesday morning press conference police indicated that the crime scene was "gruesome," and likened it to "something out of a horror movie." In fact, police said that they have reason to believe that the killer was something more than human. "Several aspects of this crime have led us to believe that the perpetrator is in fact an Evolved Human," a source from the FBI Evolved Humans Task Force confirmed. The source indicated that although they believe only one killer was involved in the murder, initial autopsies showed that the family had been tortured for hours before death with their vocal chords showing signs of prolonged screaming, despite the fact that next door neighbors claim not to have heard any unusual noises coming from the Gowdy residence. It also appeared that in some of the victims, internal organs seem to have been ripped from the body without incision or even any external force. "The IVF has been notified, and we are working with them to catch this killer," said Molly Tenfield, Fargo Police Chief. Tenfield noted that police suspect that this murder is likely tied to a string of others that have occurred in midwestern cities over the past several months, including Ann Arbor MI, Evansville IN, Grinnell IA, and now Fargo. Though the methods were different in each case, all involved a family with young children, each including at least one teenager. "The message that we want to send to the public right now is that the absolute worst thing that anyone can do is panic," said the FBI source. "Now that we know that we're likely looking for a Vol, some of the best minds in the country are working hard to make sure that we catch this killer and put them behind IVF bars." |
The news broke last night around the very end of Internet time but only started to make its rounds around IVI on Tuesday.
