The bodies of 53-year-old Tracy Maloney, 55-year-old Jack Maloney and
23-year-old Scott Maloney were found Wednesday by a police officer who went to a
townhome to check on Tracy Maloney's welfare.

The criminal complaint lists no motive, but says Blake Maloney told an officer he killed three people, and said he didn't believe they were his family.

A message left with Maloney's attorney was not immediately returned.
