HUDSON OAKS, Texas (AP) -- A relative found the bodies of a 23-year-old woman and her four small daughters hanging in a closet in their mobile home Tuesday morning, all of them dead but an 8-month-old, who was taken to a hospital, the sheriff said.
The woman's sister, who also lived in the Oak Hills mobile home park, about 25 miles west of Fort Worth, found the bodies, Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said. He said she rescued the infant when she realized the baby girl was still alive.
Fowlers said the dead children were ages 5, 3 and 2. All had been hanged with strips of clothing and sashes, Fowler said.
"It's terrible, terrible," he said.
The infant was taken to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth and was in good condition, Fowler said.
"We're still in the process of notifying the next of kin and trying to sort this out and see just exactly what did happen," the sheriff said. He said it appeared to be a murder-suicide but the investigation was continuing.
The woman and her girls were last seen alive Monday evening, Fowler said. Early Tuesday, the woman's sister had stopped by the trailer because the woman hadn't gone to work and found the bodies, he said.
The woman was believed to be separated from her husband, who has been notified of the deaths, Fowler said.
