IRONTON, Mo. (AP) — Iron County officials say a man and woman and two infant children were found dead in a home in southeast Missouri. The cause of death has not been determined but investigators believe an alternative heating source in the living room of the home could be a factor. The bodies of 33-year-old Steven Sikes, 31-year-old Julie Crawford and their two 9-month-old sons were found Tuesday at their home in Lake Killarney. KFVS reports autopsies are scheduled for Wednesday. Investigators do not believe foul play was involved.
