Gonzalez -- the owner of the home -- is the president of Strategum
Group, a small Orlando political consulting firm that represents
Republican candidates, including many in Central Florida such as state
Rep. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando.

Last year, Gonzales worked on the campaign of then-state
representative Sheri McInvale, who was indicted last week after
prosecutors say she fraudulently sought taxpayer reimbursement for a
newsletter.

3 dead in apparent double murder-suicide in Orange County
At the scene

April Hunt and Walter Pacheco | Sentinel Staff Writers


Orange County Sheriff's deputies this morning discovered three men
dead in an east Orange County home owned by a prominent political
consultant in an apparent double murder-suicide.

Deputies responded to the home at 2420 Hickory Oak Blvd. --
indentified by the Orange County property appraiser's office as owned
by Ralph Gonzalez -- just after 9 a.m. today.

They came after a woman called from North Carolina, saying that for
several days she had not heard from her friend who lives at the home.

Deputies responded by conducting a well-being check at the man's home.

Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies have not released the names of
the victims, who were found in a room at the three-bedroom house.

The residence sits in a subdivision between Rouse Road and Alafaya
Trail, directly behind University High School.

A BMW sedan and a small sport utility vehicle were in the driveway.

The men may have been dead since Tuesday, and there were signs of a
slight struggle, deputies said.

Investigators found weapons and two dogs inside the house.

However, officials are not describing what kinds of weapons were found
or details of the crime scene.

Detectives said that the men all appear to be in their mid 30s.
Deputies remain on the scene.

Gonzalez -- the owner of the home -- is the president of Strategum
Group, a small Orlando political consulting firm that represents
Republican candidates, including many in Central Florida such as state
Rep. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando.

Last year, Gonzales worked on the campaign of then-state
representative Sheri McInvale, who was indicted last week after
prosecutors say she fraudulently sought taxpayer reimbursement for a
newsletter.

In 2003, he ran the campaign of Pete Barr, the Orlando advertising
executive who lost the mayor's race to Buddy Dyer.

Hard to tell -- Republicans always smell like death.

Dogs will eat ****, carrion, and garbage, but I'm sure they left the
stinking corpses alone.
