KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Two teens and their mother were found shot to death inside a home here Tuesday afternoon, police said.
A man walked into a Kansas City, Kan., police station on Tuesday and tipped police to the deaths. Police have arrested a Kansas City, Kan., man and expect to file charges against him today, police Sgt. Henry Callahan said.
Callahan wouldn't identify the man or his relationship to the victims. He said police weren't seeking any other suspects.
Police identified the victims as Pamela Dyche, 38, and her children, Danny Dyche, 18, and Rose Dyche, 14.
Callahan declined to say whether it appeared there had been a struggle. He said autopsies were planned to try to learn more about how the victims died.
Dyche had another teen daughter who was out of town on spring break, Callahan said. Police were trying to contact her Tuesday night to tell her about the killings, he said.
The Dyches lived at the home with a man, according to their next-door neighbor, Judy Duxbury.
Duxbury's daughter, 17-year-old Amanda Mendibles, said the family seemed close, though Pamela Dyche didn't talk much. Duxbury said she'd often see the family barbecuing together.
Duxbury said the Dyches moved into the home on 26th Street last summer, just two doors up the street from a park and playground. She never saw police at the house, though it worried her that Pamela Dyche spoke so little.
And, perhaps because Dyche worked so much at a restaurant called Go Chicken Go, Duxbury said she rarely saw Dyche.
"I would not really have known she lived there if my daughters hadn't told me," she said as police took down the yellow crime-scene tape from around her neighbor's house.
Dyche's son, Danny, also worked for the restaurant chain as did his other sister.
