“This is supposed to be nice,” said neighbor Michael Albert. “Peace and quiet around here.”

Albert said he’s hard of hearing and didn’t hear any commotion coming from the house next door.

“I didn’t know anything about it until 8:30 this morning,” Albert said. “I knew there was a sheriff here. There was another car here, and they already had it taped off.”

Those who knew the victims said one of them was a woman who had concerns for her safety.

“I replaced the door lock on her trailer home,” Albert said. “She, she had one pistol. I told her to make sure you got that pistol close to you all the time.”

Albert and other neighbors identified Fink as the ex-husband of one of the victims and the person she was afraid of.
