Gina Hunt was arrested in a suspected bad check scheme in 2002. The Associated Press was unable to determine the outcome of that case Tuesday.

Yellow crime scene tape cordoned off nearly a half block of the street, lined with modest brick and frame houses. At the small one-story white house where the slayings occurred, officers inspected the frame of the open front door.

As word of the shootings spread, neighbors gathered to watch investigators. The front entrance to the home was flanked by signs reading "Peace on the streets, stop the violence," and stuffed animals were piled on the steps and the bushes.

Janice Turner, 46, of Indianapolis, said she stopped at the house to pray.

"It's sickening. I'm tired of people messing with these babies," Turner said.

Community activists and religious leaders encouraged people with information about the crime to come forward.

"When things happen, people need to come together as a community and be nosy neighbors," said Michael Wolley, a chaplain with the sheriff's department. "On the streets there's a code of silence, and we need to break that because enough is enough."
