Minnesota police recovered the bodies of three children and a woman from a lake in what they fear is a triple homicide.
Undersheriff Mike Martin said in a Saturday press conference that the bodies have been pulled from Vadnais Lake. The first child was found on Friday night, the second shortly after midnight on Saturday, and the third at about 11 a.m. on Saturday. The woman was found at around 10:40 a.m. Saturday, according to Martin.

Police said they are investigating the deaths as a homicide, and the names of the deceased will be released in the coming days.
It was revealed Friday that the children’s father was found dead in Maplewood, Minnesota, earlier in the day. They stopped short of linking the death to those of the children or commenting on the circumstances.
