Teen girl, baby sister found dead in apparent homicide; mom named person of interestA 4-month-old girl and her 14-year-old sister were found dead in the garage of their southern California home in a suspected homicide—and their mother has been named a person of interest. I'd be looking at the father at this point maybe he thought the woman was dead so he planted the notes .
