 Tommy Ogden was a former Fort Carson soldier who served two deployments in Iraq. Tommy discovered the bodies and cooperated with authorities from the beginning. He said he returned home from work and after walking into the home quickly discovered the deceased body of his wife Rene, he then called police to report the discovery. When officers arrived on scene they entered the home and observed Rene's lifeless body and went on to secure the home.

 The El Paso County Department of Human Services had received an allegation of child maltreatment against the family in 2003. The father, The Gazette newspaper in Colorado Springs quoted friends as saying the mother suffered from depression. Chase, had autism. Another family friend was quoted by Channel 7 news saying the mother was sick with chronic pain and other health issues.
