FREDERICK, Md.-The bodies of a man and his four young children were found Monday in a townhouse in the city, Frederick police said.
The father, 28, was found hanging by a yellow nylon rope from a second-floor bannister, said Lt. Thomas Chase. The children-girls ages 9, 4 and 1, and a 3-year-old boy-were found in beds completely covered with sheets and blankets pulled over their heads.
Police were looking Monday evening for the mother of the children, who neighbors said also lived at the home. Officers had located the children's aunt and were interviewing her. Chase said the mother of the children had not shown up for work at a local restaurant for a week and a half and police were looking for her. The father worked at the Toys R Us Warehouse in Frederick and the mother worked at Outback Steakhouse.
