Investigation continues into deaths of former trooper's wife, children

GEORGETOWN, Ind. -- Members of a community church gathered during the weekend to grieve for the slain family of a former Indiana state trooper whose wife and children were found shot to death.\nAuthorities continue to analyze evidence in the murder of David Camm's family but have released few new details since Thursday, when Camm discovered the bodies of his wife, Kimberly, and their two children, Bradley, 7, and Jill, 5, in the family's garage.\nMembers of the Georgetown Community Church came together to console one another over the loss.\n"This tragedy has left a very deep hole in our parish family," said Pastor Leland Lockhart, Camm's uncle. "Our pain is enormous."\nPolice said they currently have no suspects in the slayings.\nSaturday, officers remained inside the family's house collecting evidence. Detectives interviewed neighbors and family members.\nInvestigators declined to say whether there were signs of forced entry at the home, which is on a dead-end street in a subdivision just outside the town of about 2,000. Several family members live nearby.\nThe family described David Camm, 36, as devastated and inconsolable.\n"Our advice to him is to just keep breathing," said his sister, Julie Hogue. "He feels like he doesn't even want to do that."\nDavid and Kimberly Camm married 11 years ago, just before he joined the state police. He left the Sellersburg post in May to go into a family-run construction business that waterproofs foundations.\n"David is experiencing a loss that cannot be explained, that cannot be put into words," said Sam Lockhart, another of Camm's uncles.\nCamm's father, Donald, began preparing a spot in memory of his grandchildren in the church's memorial garden while others reflected on the tragedy.\nFamily members and neighbors said the Camms were devoted to their children and each other, focusing their lives on family and church.\nKimberly Camm, 36, was an accountant at Aegon Insurance in Louisville, Ky., and a frequent volunteer at the church. Bradley was in second grade and Jill in kindergarten at Graceland Christian School.\nEarlier Thursday, Kimberly and her children had been at swim practice at Hazelwood Junior High School in Floyd County.\nA neighbor, Jo Hazelwood, was there too with her 6-year-old son.\n"That's been the most frightening thing," Hazelwood said Saturday. "We were both at the same place, and came home at the same time. I thought, 'If somebody followed her, that could have been me they followed."'
