Marnie Rose Warren, 19, and her stepbrothers, Brandon KeithWarren, 14, and Bradley Kyle Warren, 13, were found dead Thursdayin the home filled with trash and animal droppings.

Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell said parents Kent andNissa Warren were cooperative, though grief-stricken, when theywere questioned twice Thursday. Another interview was planned fortoday.

Autopsy results were not immediately available from the statemedical examiner's office in Chapel Hill.

Authorities had no suspects today and had not ruled outsuicide. Sheriff's Capt. Dale Wheeler said neighbors were not atrisk. Investigators have recovered a gun from the residence, butthey won't confirm whether it was involved in the shootings.

Nissa Warren called police Thursday afternoon after finding thebodies, Bizzell said.

‘You're Not Going to Believe This’

Warren told investigators that she last saw the teens about fourhours before she found the bodies. Her husband was at work.

A neighbor, Frances Jones, said she was driving by the trailerThursday afternoon when Nissa Warren, standing with a deputy,flagged her down.

"She held up three fingers and said, `Frances, you're not goingto believe this: My children are dead,"' Jones said.

Jones said she thought the woman was referring to the dogs,chickens, cows, goats, geese and horses the family kept in theiryard. "What do you mean, your kids are dead?" Jones asked.

The woman responded: "My children are dead; they're laying onthe floor naked, dead," Jones said.

Bizzell said there was no evidence the children had beenmistreated, though he said the home, about 35 miles southeast ofRaleigh, was full of garbage. "The place is unsanitary, bothinside and out," he said.

100 Percent Country

Neighbors said they knew little about the family.
