Cheshire Emergency.
My name is Mary Lyons,
I'm the banking center manager.
We have a lady who is
in our bank right now
who says that her
husband and children
are being held at their house.
The people are in a car
outside the bank.
She is getting $15,000
to bring out to them.
That if the police are told, they will
kill the children and the husband.
Her name is Jennifer Petit.
P-e-t-i-t.
Okay.
Is she still in the bank?
Yes, she is.
Okay.
She's being held...
- Her husband...
- Husband and family is being held?
- Yes.
- At their house?
Yes. They're tied up.
She said they drove her here.
I'm trying to look
and see where she's gone.
She went outside, but I don't...
Oh, wait, I see her walking now.
She is petrified.
Again, facts like that I
can't comment on. Okay.
And a male survivor.
Upon arrival at
the victims' residence,
two male subjects
exit private residence
and also observed
the private residence
fully engulfed in flame.
The suspect vehicle rammed the
Cheshire police officer's car
and continued
on Sorghum Mill Road.
Tonight, police removed
the body of one of the victims
after a home invasion leaves a
mother and her two daughters dead.
The suspects,
26-year-old Joshua
Komisarjevsky of Cheshire
and 44-year-old
Steven Hayes of Winsted
to escape in the Petits' car.
Now, the only question
remains that why
did this happen
to the Petit family?
There's not one word that I
can use to describe our town,
but it's a phenomenal town.
It's known as the
bedding capital of Connecticut,
for bedding plants.
It was historically a farming
community. A lot of family farms...
And, as the state
of Connecticut grew,
as the cities surrounding
the town of Cheshire grew,
it ultimately became
a bedroom community,
which I think is the, uh, probably the
way most people think of Cheshire.
Returning now
to tonight's top story.
A mother and her
two daughters are dead,
their father severely injured,
after a home invasion
stunned the town of Cheshire.
The suspects
apparently set the house on fire
as well as some of the victims.
Jennifer Petit,
her cause of death
has been asphyxiation
from strangulation.
Her daughters Hayley and Michaela
died from smoke inhalation.
I got a phone
call here on Monday afternoon
from Billy's sister,
and I said, "Hannah, it's
about the girls, isn't it?"
And she said,
"These two men came in
"at what they think was
3:
00 in the morning"and they beat Billy really
badly with a baseball bat
"and his head's all split apart,
"and then they proceeded to do
to the girls,
"and they tied them
to their beds."
"About 9:
00, Jen was madeto go to the bank
"and withdraw money
"and then when she came
back from the bank,
"they set the house on fire
and killed them all
"so that they could try to cover
up their tracks, I guess,"
"but they got the two guys."
And all I could think was, "Who
cares if they got the two guys?
"We don't have our
loved ones anymore,"
"and that's all we had."
Wild Lingonberry. Have
you ever had that?
Lingonberry?
It's from England, somewhere.
I've ever had to do in my life
was to tell my parents that
their only other child,
was dead,
and their two grandchildren,
two of their four.
She quickly told
us that the home was set on fire,
but Bill escaped.
We went to the hospital and got
to see Bill for the first time.
He was badly beaten
us for not saving our daughter
and our grandchildren.
And we had to convince him that
he was in no condition
to be able to save anyone
and we were grateful...
That he was alive.
That he was alive.
This is the last sort of
picture that we had together.
My sister...
She was beautiful.
And she was usually, like, the
lead in the plays at school.
She was on the homecoming court.
She was captain of
the Trojanette team.
So she really was kind
of like a winner person.
Bill was a
committed, dedicated doctor.
Would leave at, uh,
7:
00 in the morningand not be back home
until maybe 9:
00, 9:30.When Jen was diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis,
Hayley really wanted
she felt like if she didn't do anything,
it was possible that her mother could die.
Hayley was able
to raise a little over $50,000
being a spokesperson for the MS
Society here in Connecticut,
receiving awards for that,
although you'd never know it.
I hardly
knew about Hayley helping with MS,
and that was just because she was
just so quiet about everything.
She could have bragged
about everything she did,
I mean, she was
a straight "A" student.
I think about her all the time.
It's hard not
You'll find just something
to relate to her about.
Michaela sometimes
shied away from adults,
but if she saw somebody
she went to them and tried to
help with whatever she could.
Their lives
were just centered around
a sense of sociability,
uh, justice.
And if I didn't smile about
it, I'd have to cry.
Apparently,
these two losers followed.
Jennifer Hawke-Petit
and her 11-year-old daughter
to the Stop and Shop
on Sunday night.
They followed them.
