COLUMBIA — Authorities on Tuesday released the identities of a stay-at-home mom and her four children who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide this week inside their Columbia home.
Maury County Sheriff Bucky Rowland identified the woman as 55-year-old Cynthia Collier and her four children as 14-year-old Bo Li, 14-year-old Meigan Lin, 15-year-old Lia Lin and 17-year-old Kaileigh Lin.
Rowland said evidence indicated Collier's wound was self-inflicted.
All five family members were found about 6 p.m. Monday by an older brother who also lived in the home in the 1000 block of Carters Creek Pike in Columbia. The brother, who is not a suspect, dialed 911 to report the deaths.
