New search warrants obtained Wednesday say the Utah family of five who were found dead in their homes on Sept. 27 were poisoned, but there is no word on who poisoned them, including one of the parents, according to Reuters.
Police did say in the warrants that the family's deaths were "not accidental or natural in any way," local news station KSL.com reported.
The parents, Benjamin and Kristi Strack, were found with their children in their Springfield home by the eldest son, his live-in girlfriend and Kristi's mother, Reuters reported.
The three children,Benson, 14, Emery, 12, and Zion, 11, were found together in their parents room with cups next to each of them, according to Reuters.
The Bodies were found tucked under the covers up to the necks, and Kristi had a red liquid coming from her mouth, Reuters reported. The bodies were likely moved after death, according to the warrant.
Ten empty bottles of methadone and nighttime cold medicine were found in a trash can, according to Reuters.
Springville police Lt. Dave Caron said Wednesday he couldn't comment on the search warrant or speculate about the cause of death until results of a toxicology test come back in late November, Reuters reported.
Kristi Strack's mother, said she couldn't believe "she" would do this to the kids but wouldn't elaborate, police wrote, KSL.com reported.
The last time the family was seen alive was at 6 a.m. on Sept. 27 by the eldest son and his girlfriend. After returning home at 7 p.m., the couple looked for the family and found the parents bedroom door locked, Reuters reported.
The eldest surviving son then called Kristi's mother, who came over with a friend and broke open the door, according to Reuters.
