So he left.

Another hour passed, but still, no one could get in touch with Chip and Claudia.

Around 7.30 p.m., Claudia's daughter, Laura, decided to visit the house.

Like Robert, she rang the front doorbell, and again, no one answered.

But Laura wasn't satisfied leaving it at that.

She walked around the back of the house.

She saw a few lights on inside.

And that's when she noticed that one of the back windows wasn't just open.

The screen had been meticulously cut.

She stepped forward to get a closer look.

She could just barely see into Chip and Claudia's shared bedroom.

But even in the dim light, she could see something wasn't right.

It wasn't clear to her what had happened or whose blood it was, but it was enough to make her call 911.

Several officers from the Davis Police Department arrived at the scene.

They tried to get into the house, but couldn't gain entry through the front door.

They went around to the back to look at what Laura thought she had seen through the window.

As they shined their flashlights through the screen, it became very clear that they had stumbled upon a crime scene.

Inside were two bodies, completely covered in blood.

Police forced their way inside.

Hours later, Laura got in touch with her sister, Victoria.
