Three family members, including a 6-year-old girl, were killed in a Maquoketa Caves State Park shooting. A 9-year-old survived.
Cedar Falls residents Tyler Schmidt and Sarah Schmidt, both 42, and their daughter Lula, 6, were identified as the three victims whose bodies were found at a campground at Maquoketa Caves State Park, the Iowa Department of Public Safety said.Three family members killed during a shooting last month at an eastern Iowa state park were shot, stabbed and/or strangled, according to autopsy results released Thursday.
All three family members' deaths have been ruled homicides. The Schmidts' 9-year-old son, who was with his family on the camping trip, survived the attack without physical injuries, but investigators have not said whether he was in the tent when the attack happened.
Investigators said all evidence collected substantiates that Sherwin acted alone, but police have not revealed a motive for the killings. Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Department of Public Safety's division of criminal investigation, said Thursday that investigators "have indications as to what the motive was," but don't plan to release that information.
