Hours after six bodies were discovered Thursday in a GagePark bungalow, Noemi Martinez waited by the phone nearly 1,000 miles away inTexas, still not sure whether the victims were family members her husband hadjust visited over Christmas.
“This is shocking, and I don\’t know what to think,” shesaid. “We\’re trying to find out what’s going on.”
Finally, about four hours after police found the bodies offive adults and one child around 10 years old, Martinez was resigned to theidea that they were her relatives. But she still had many questions about whathappened inside the brick bungalow in the 5700 block of South CaliforniaAvenue.
“We\’re still trying to figure it all out,” she said throughtears. “We don\’t know what happened.”
Police say the six victims were found throughout the homearound 1:05 p.m. after a co-worker of a man who lived there called 911, policesaid. The victims appeared to have been stabbed, but police were waiting forautopsies.
