Yesterday, an Amber Alert in Connecticut was cancelled after it was discovered that a missing six-month-old and a two-year-old were found dead along with their grandmother. The Hartford Courant reports, "Three bodies found in a vehicle in Preston, near the Lake of Isles golf course, were tentatively identified as Debra Denison, 47, Ashton Perry, 6 months, and Alton Perry, 2, state police said. Alton turned 2 on Tuesday."
Denison had picked the boys up from their daycare center in the afternoon (she was authorized to do so) but never brought them home for Alton's birthday celebration, so the children's mother, Brenda Perry, contacted the police at 4 p.m.. An Amber Alert was issued at 7:30 p.m., but at 9:30 p.m., a person call 911 about a suspicious vehicle matching the description in the alert.
According to WFSB, "The caller told police that there were three injured people inside the vehicle, two of which were children. State police troopers and EMS responded to the scene to find all three dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Inside the vehicle, state police said, there was a suicide note, but the family did not elaborate on the contents of it, which is now in police custody."
Brenda Perry had previously mentioned that her mother had mental issues to the day care center's co-owner, Christine Hare, but didn't elaborate; Hare said, "That's stuff that stays within a family."
