Autopsies will be performed by the Burlington County Medical Examiner’s Office over the weekend.” The postal worker, Dom Clements, said he was shocked when he came across the note along his delivery route.

“I walked up to the house, as usual, to deliver the mail. The mailbox was all taped up with just regular wrapping tape, clear wrapping tape. And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s weird,’ and right next to the door, with the same tape holding it up on the wall.

And it said, 911 inside, with two rudimentary drawings of faces,” Clements told the New York Post. Also Read | Spencer and Monique Tepe murders: Eerie 911 call reported ‘domestic dispute’ months before killings, ‘Me and my man…’ “I did try knocking and got no answer.

And I called immediately afterwards and within, what, five minutes, we had a few squad cars,” he added. Clements also wondered whether the note was meant for him specifically. “I thought it was weird, because the only person that would have been able to see that sign would have been me, ’cause I’m the only one that goes to that house every day,” he said.

“The only person who goes up to the door is the mail carrier. It’s weird. The whole situation was weird. Definitely don’t want it to happen again.” One neighbor told the outlet that police said the bodies were discovered amidst a lot of blood.

“I understand that an incident of this nature is deeply concerning to our community. As your Chief of Police, I want to assure you that the safety and security of our residents remain my highest priority,” Mount Holly Police Chief Clifford Spencer said in a statement posted to Facebook.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this tragic incident,” he added The victims remain unidentified until next of kin are notified about their deaths. Their cause of death remains unknown.
