One neighbor told NBC10 they heard the sound of a car alarm outside the couple's home around 10 p.m. Monday. Police discovered Tuesday that a car belonging to one of the victims is missing. They have not yet released a description of the vehicle.
Police have not responded to the home previously, Clark said, adding that it is a quiet neighborhood.
"We've had no contact with these folks at all," Clark said. "They seem to be a nice, young couple. Just happened to be unfortunate victims in this case."
Investigators spent hours scouring for clues in the roped off home as on-edge neighbors waited for more information.
"It's just scary because you just don't know the situation you don't know what happened," neighbor Joanna Kampf said.
