I was called in today to investigate the murders of the O'Brien family. The bodies of Lewis and Lauren O'Brien were found on their bed. The coroner detected three shots on Lewis' head and seven on Lauren, neither showing signs of physical struggle. Both were asleep at their time of death. Their children Matthew and Kaitlyn O'Brien were found similar inside their bedroom. The maid who made the 911 called can't recall hearing or seeing any strange activity after what was apparently a family dinner.

Two security guards named Natasha Olionson and Dylan Sanderson were shot inside the CCTV room, again with no signs of restraint.

A Silenced Pistol

This 9mm pistol was found on the scene equipped with a silencer attached to the front of the weapon. The weapon had fingerprints of the brother Connor O’Brien, however, they seemed to be smudged in some areas.

9mm Bullets

9mm bullets that were recovered from the crime scene. 

Lewis & Lauren O'Briens Safe

This safe was found inside of Lewis' and Laurens bedroom closet. The safe was found unlocked with nothing inside.

Date: 10/13/2004

The safe we found contains nothing. We're now looking at both robbery and a homicide. I'll need to look more into this.

The fingerprints seem to be smudged on this weapon, meaning someone else was handling this weapon or Connor O'Brien decided for a change in handwear. I'll need to bring Connor in for questioning, he is now our prime suspect.
