Neighbors told ABC11 they were as left in the dark as everyone else. They said a man and woman lived in the house and there were usually two cars in the driveway.

The Cary Police Department was seen searching four separate cars in the area; two parked in the garage, one in the driveway and one parked on the street near the house.

The people living in the house did not own it. Instead, a family living about 10 minutes away was renting it. ABC11 contacted this family but said they knew nothing about what happened.
