The body of one child was recovered from a Minnesota lake Friday as officials continued to search the area for two more children and their mother, officials said.
The rescue and recovery operation continued into the night at a lake outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where multiple agencies were searching after first responding to a call of a suicide earlier in the day, Maplewood police said.
A man, thought to be the father of the children, was found dead at a home about 10:30 a.m. when Maplewood police and fire responded there to a report of a suicide, Lt. Joe Steiner said.
As they investigated the man's death, information from family members led police to Vadnais Lake around 4 p.m. for a potential murder-suicide, Steiner said.
Authorities found a vehicle and other items connected to the family at the lake, leading authorities to believe they are still in the area, he said.
