Members of a Litchfield Park family were discovered missing under "suspicious circumstances," according to Avondale police.
Family members had requested a welfare check for the residents of a home — a husband, wife and their adult son — in the area of North Litchfield and Indian School roads, according to an Avondale Police Department media advisory. Officers entered the home on Aug. 4.
"During the welfare check, officers discovered indications that foul play may have occurred," the police advisory stated. "No individuals were located inside, and all three residents are now considered missing."
The names of the missing were not released publicly, police said, to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
