OR - Mother and 3 young children found dead inside home, Cornelius, 8 April 2025

As I had been suspecting all along...

And I'm still wondering where exactly the fire in the house was, and if it was possibly started by the same person who LE is still looking for? I know where I'm placing my bet.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has now confirmed to KOIN 6 News that it is a homicide investigation but there is still no suspect, nor has anyone been charged with a crime. The investigation is still ongoing, officials said. Last week, the sheriff’s office said its Violent Crimes Unit was assisting with the investigation.

Wouldn't it be a Homicide Investigation even if it was Murder-Sucide?

That's a very valid point. I'm still thinking someone other than the mother may have committed their murders. Especially since the fire from a month or so ago is part of the investigation (discussed upthread).

Yeah i'd definitely lean that way too especially with "still no suspect", just saying there's no distinction made in the article at least. LE are often very literal in their language and often don't like to name anyone a suspect until they've got a clear picture of things, i've seen the media mislead in those kinds of way before.
