The woman had not been to work in a couple of days, Barnes said. The couple hadn' t been heard from when the woman's brother stopped by the house to check on them, Barnes said.

The brother, who was not identified, could hear the couple's two children inside, Barnes said. The brother got inside the home and found the couple.

The children, ages 2 and 4, were fine, Barnes said.
