Mailman who uncovered NJ home massacre recounts chilling sign: ‘I thought it was weird’
A postal worker in Mount Holly, New Jersey, called police after finding a note on a home’s door saying “9-1-1 Inside” and showing two faces with Xs for eyes. Officers found three dead people inside, making the note a disturbing clue in an investigation whose cause and circumstances remain unknown.
The worker, Dom Clements, said the note and the mailbox were secured with clear tape, and that he was the only person who regularly approached the door. A neighbour said four siblings lived in the house and kept largely to themselves; she recalled seeing someone carry a small bag to the kerb on the previous Tuesday. Authorities have not released the deceased people’s identities or cause of death, pending an autopsy.

Explained simply
Mount Holly is a town in New Jersey, in the United States. Police investigations into deaths at a home can take time, as officers work to establish who died and what happened.
The postal worker who raised the alarm was Dom Clements, who said he noticed a message taped to the door and a secured mailbox. A neighbour said four siblings lived in the house, but officials have not yet confirmed the identities of the people who died.
Autopsies are examinations that can help determine a person’s cause of death. Until those results are available, the circumstances and cause of the deaths remain unknown.
