It sounds like multiple people called 911 at 3:45 AM. One person reported a suspicious man with blood on his clothing. Next the suspicious male calls 911 to give information about dead people inside the home he was staying at. POlice detained him and are "chatting" with him trying to get more information.

Weirdest story of the month.

Two of the victims have been named in the media. Brian Crossman and his wife, Erica Crossman. Brian was on the Pawlet Select Board serving a one year term.

Thank you @Leopard - this isn't what I thought it might be.

The property is a generational family farm. Brian and Erica married in June this year and had taken it over from Brian's sister to run. He was cleaning up the property and working the farm. Brian is a lineman for Green Mountain Power and as @Leopard posted, had been elected last spring to the PSB for a one year term - through March 2025. He served as a liaison to the Pawlet Highway Department and for buildings.

It's not clear in this story, did Brian still work for Green Mountain Power?
