Father was strapped for cash, he says in note
(NEWSER) - The death of two sisters and their parents at their San Diego home has been ruled a murder-suicide, likely by the father. The bodies of Priscilla Pimienta, who was just a month away from her high school graduation, and her baby sister, 9-year-old Emily, were found in the family pool along with the corpse of their dad, Alfredo. Their mom's body was found in a bathtub in the house. The dead in the pool were first spotted by a relative who had been called to the home by Alfredo Pimienta to "discuss business," said police. Alfredo left behind a note about his financial difficulties and added instructions on how to dispose of the family assets, the Los Angeles Times reports. More»
