IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A woman and her four children were found dead
in their home Monday morning, and authorities were searching for the
woman's husband, authorities said.
Dispatchers got a call at 6:31 a.m. saying officers needed to get to
the address immediately. The caller then hung up, a police department
statement said.
Officers found the house unlocked and discovered the bodies inside.
"Lots of family needs to be contacted," Iowa City Police Sgt. Troy
Kelsay told The Gazette of Cedar Rapids.
Officers said they were not able to find the woman's husband, Steven
Sueppel. Court records show that a Steven Sueppel who lives at the
address where the bodies were found was indicted last month on federal
charges of stealing about $560,000 from the bank where he worked.
Police also said the family's van was missing. They said a
single-vehicle, fatal crash on Interstate 80 about nine miles from the
house may have involved the van. However, the vehicle was on fire so
officers were having a difficult time identifying it and the occupant,
according to the department news release.
While police initially said the victims had been shot, Kelsay said he
was unsure how they were killed.
"I'm not certain that a firearm was ever involved," he said, adding
that the victims suffered trauma. "Nobody reported hearing any shots."
Sueppel was charged last month with one count of embezzlement of bank
funds and six counts of money laundering while serving as the vice
president and controller of Hills Bank and Trust. Authorities said the
alleged thefts occurred between July 26, 2000, and September 12, 2007.
Sueppel, 42, pleaded not guilty and was released on $250,000 bail. His
trial was scheduled for April 21.

And the "Kill 'em All" trend continues unabated ...
Maybe it's the depressing election coverage ?
Regardless, this now seems the "normal" way for
Americans to resolve any little problem - so ...
watch yer ass and be NICE to people.
Looks like Timmy McVey and the Columbine punks
started a trend, or just reset the value of
"normal stress response" perhaps. Now that it's
done, I have no idea how to reset things back
to more civilized parameters, and neither does
anyone else apparently.
The 'media', however, LOVES it this way ...
