GREENACRES, Fla. (AP) — A Department of Children and Families report indicates the woman who police believe fatally shot her daughter and two young grandchildren before killing herself had no history of mental illness or violence.
The Palm Beach Post (http://pbpo.st/1LFgPc3 ) reports the report mirrors what friends and the Greenacres police have said since the four bodies were found inside the duplex on June 26.
Friends who had not heard from the family found the bodies of 53-year-old Nilda Sheffield, 30-year-old Elizabeth Flores, 7-year-old Xavier Neff and 2-year-old Sofia Chiddo.
DCF had two previous incidents with the family. Recently, Flores alleged abuse of her son by his step mother. DCF said there were "no indicators" of physical abuse. Earlier, DCF indicated there were "verified findings" of abuse by David Chiddo to his daughter.
