INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Indiana state police said on Monday they have no suspects in the deaths of five people in rural Franklin County, and they appealed to the public to provide tips and leads.
With no clear motive or suspects identified, residents living in and around the town of Laurel, about 60 miles southeast of Indianapolis, are expressing concern about the murders, said Franklin County Sheriff Ken Murray Monday evening. "Who wouldn't be," he said.
Authorities on Sunday found the body of a man at one address and then recovered four more bodies at an address across the street -- two male and two female.
That deaths have put residents on alert for any suspicious activities, which has resulted in numerous tips being sent to police.
"Every tip is being investigated," said Indiana State Police Sgt. Jerry Goodin.
Autopsies of four of the victims were conducted Monday in Indianapolis and the fifth will take place Tuesday. In addition to the cause of death, investigators hope the autopsies will offer clues to the crime. Police decided to withhold the identity of all the murder victims until autopsies are complete and family members notified.
"At this time there is no person or persons of interest or suspect/suspects," Indiana State Police said in a statement. "We are continuing to follow numerous tips and leads and we are encouraging the public to continue contacting us with those tips and leads."
State police plan a news conference for Tuesday in nearby Brookville, Indiana to provide updates. Police still do not know if the attacker or attackers were among the dead.
Police said they were tipped off about the bodies by passersby who found a child wandering without adult supervision and notified police. The deputy talked with the child and then called for backup, police said.

INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Five people were found dead on Sunday afternoon in two rural Franklin County, Indiana, homes after police were called to check on a small child wandering near the road.
Indiana State Police are trying to determine exactly what led to the shooting deaths of four people -- two male and two female -- at one address and a man they found dead in a house across the street.
State Police Sergeant Jerry Goodin told reporters that investigators don't know how many shooters were involved or if the shooter was one of those found dead.
Autopsies will take place Monday morning and names of the victims will be released after families are notified.
Police are advising those living in the area to be cautious answering their doors and to report any suspicious activity to 911.
