ORIGINAL STORY:

On Sunday, a woman called police from a location on Strathdon Drive, saying she had been stabbed. However, once an officer arrived on the scene, there were no signs of a stabbing or a struggle. Instead the officer spoke with a young man, in his 20’s, who was at the home. When asked where his father was he said he didn't know. He then checked his phone and had several missed calls and texts from his mother. Police were then led to her residence on Lakeside Drive. Once inside her apartment, they found several blood stains throughout the residence.

Upon further investigation detectives discovered that the father has family in Piqua, Ohio. A search warrant has been obtained and officers are still looking for clues.
