Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Authorities in Montgomery Township, New Jersey, are investigating a murder-suicide involving the Grodnick family. David Grodnick, a 61-year-old insurance executive and senior vice president for Land Services USA, allegedly shot and killed his wife, 62-year-old Lora Grodnick, and their 24-year-old daughter, Sloane Grodnick, before taking his own life. Police discovered the bodies following a welfare check on October 2 after officials were unable to contact the residents. The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office classified the deaths of Lora and Sloane as homicides and David’s death as a suicide. While investigators have described the incident as an isolated family tragedy with no ongoing threat to the public, a neighbor reported that the family had exhibited unusual behavior in the months prior, noting they had stopped maintaining their property, which suggested ‘something was not right’. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-09: New Jersey family killed in Montgomery Township murder-suicide A New Jersey man killed his wife and daughter before committing suicide in Montgomery Township.
