State police have identified the bodies as Scott Reed and his wife, Danielle, along with Reed's friend, Daniel Young.
They say the death of Danielle Folsom Reed of Alton was a domestic violence homicide. That conclusion was reached this weekend following the autopsies of Danielle and the two men also found in the house.
Maine’s Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Margaret Greenwald, said Danielle died of “multiple stab and incised wounds to the neck, including the throat” and the two men both died of “close contact gunshot wounds to the head.”
Greenwald concluded that the death of Reed’s estranged husband, Scott Reed, was suicide but more work is necessary to determine the manner of death to the second man, Daniel Young.
Detectives say Danielle Reed was killed by her husband early Monday afternoon inside the home. Scott Reed then met up with Daniel Young at a Bangor restaurant and spent the rest of the afternoon together and arriving at Reed’s home about 5:30 p.m. At 6:52 p.m. Reed called a female friend to meet him at the house. This was the woman who called police after she discovered the bodies inside the home.
Police say they learned that both Reed and Young hand talked in the past about both committing suicide and that lab work and more interviews are necessary before concluding whether Young was shot by Reed or whether Young took his own life.
Police say the Reed’s were estranged and had been living apart in recent months. A suicide note by Reed was found in the house.
