Police in Wolcottville, Indiana, discovered the bodies of Rebecca Hughes, 32, and her three daughters—Evalynn, 8, Allison, 6, and Amelia, 5—on September 17, after responding to a welfare check at their home.
The investigation, now led by the Indiana State Police, has not yet revealed the cause of death, with autopsy results pending. Authorities have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat.
Jonathan Newell, the father of the girls, opened up about the devastating loss.
He described his disbelief upon hearing the news, initially brushing off concerns from his mother. “Don’t worry, she’s fine, the kids are fine,” Jonathan told her, only to find out later that his daughters were gone.
