Summary
It’s just afternoon when Andy Byler and a friend arrive at the Byler home. He shares the home with his pregnant wife Rebekah, and their two children.
At around 12:15 p.m., Byler walks into his living room finding his wife dead on the floor. After checking on his wife, Byler starts looking for his children and the friend calls police. The children are in the home, and unharmed.
Police cars lined Fish Flats Road, outside the Byler home. Rebekah Byler's death has been ruled a homicide. Authorities have not yet revealed how Byler was killed. Police say the crime does not look like a robbery as there’s no evidence that anything was taken from the home.
For now, there are no suspects or a motive.
