— -- Police in Ohio are investigating the mysterious deaths of a woman and her two young adult daughters, whose bodies were found Sunday evening.

The three women were found in one bedroom at their home in North Royalton, Ohio, about 18 miles outside Cleveland, Detective Dave Loeding of the North Royalton Police Department said at a news conference.

Police have ruled out a murder-suicide, he said.

A knife was used in the death of one woman, Loeding said, but for the other two, there is no visible sign of how they were killed.

The victims were identified as 18-year-old Kylie Pifer, 21-year-old Taylor Pifer and their mother, 45-year-old Suzanne Taylor, Loeding said.

He said there are people of interest in the case and police are beginning the process of whittling them down.

The crime scene is still active, and investigators carried a lot of bedding out of the home, police said.

Loeding said that he does not have knowledge of any complaints at the home and that it is not in a high-crime area.
