Mother, Kids Death Said Murder-Suicide


JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A woman and three children found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning in the family's garage were victims of murder-suicide, a medical examiner's report concludes.

Dr. Charles Garrett, the regional pathologist who conducted the autopsies, said Thursday that he signed death certificates stating ``the mother's death was suicide and the three children's, homicide.''

The bodies of Robin Parker, 33, her daughters, ages 2 and 10, and 11-month-old son were found Tuesday.

Parker's fiance, Steven Williams, told investigators a car was still running in the garage when he arrived home from work and found their bodies on the garage floor. An autopsy report released Wednesday said all four died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Williams was the father of the two youngest children.

Investigators have not released a possible motive.

Deputy Police Chief Sammy Phillips said Parker was being investigated for allegedly embezzling more than $9,000 while working as the manager of an apartment complex.
