''Investigators determined Erin placed a call to a friend for a ride home at 11:40 p.m.. At approximately 11:50 p.m. a white, young adult male with a bald head and medium build, was seen exiting the bowling alley wearing a dark colored, below the knee, trench coat.

The male was spotted entering a dark colored, late model, pickup truck and leaving the area to the south, according to LPD.

Investigators said that the murders of James, Erin, and Robert may be related to a prior attempted burglary of the bowling alley on Jan. 20, 2002, LPD said.

Erin, James, and Robert were found dead at 11:55 p.m. by Erin’s friend, according to LPD.
Chief Doug Stephens of the LPD shared this statement Wednesday morning:
