Billotti-Wood's father broke into their house on Washington Street on Saturday morning and discovered all five bodies, Jenkins said. The children were still in their pajamas. Wood left six separate notes, four individually addressed to his wife and children and one note apologizing to his mother, father and sister, Jenkins said.
The sixth note, which Jenkins described as a suicide note, described the family's financial troubles, Wood's day-to-day stresses and his continuing battle with depression, authorities said. In that note, Wood said that he was taking medications and that they were ineffective, Jenkins said.
Police seized anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs from the house, Jenkins said. He said toxicology tests will reveal whether Wood was using the drugs. Wood and Billotti-Wood moved to Middletown last summer, after a brief stay in West Virginia, authorities said. Billotti-Wood was raised in Middletown, and according to friends and postings on her blog, she was excited to be closer to friends and family.
