Detectives have also started a technical investigation in the family's home on Johanniterhof in Doorweth. The area around the house has been closed off. According to reporter Jeroen Makel, the house has been ransacked, Omroep Gelderland reports. "There are feathers everywhere. The couch has been torn apart and the boards seem to have been pulled loose. The rent was also canceled per March 15th." Thus far not much is known about the family. The family consists of a mother (American), father and 5 children between the ages of 1 and 10 years. The youngest child was allegedly born in the house.
