BEULAH, Fla. (AP) - A relative says the mother and father of 16
children - 12 of them adopted - have been found shot to death in a
home invasion.
Escambia County Sheriff's officials tell the Pensacola News
Journal that the children were found safe following the Thursday
night attack.
The mother-in-law of one of the grown children, Nancy Markham,
says Byrd and Melanie Billings were found in the bedroom of their
home in Beulah, just west of Pensacola near the Alabama border.
Sgt. Ted Roy says authorities are searching for three men in a
red van who may have been involved in the slayings.
The couple owned several local businesses and had been featured
in the News Journal for their generosity taking in children with
disabilities and from troubled backgrounds.
