Mother, two daughters found dead at Iona Lakes residence
Jan 25, 2016

A 27-year-old man is behind bars after a mother, her two daughters, and a family dog were found dead over the weekend at an Iona Lakes apartment.
Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies said Tammy Modlin, 37, and her 16-year-old daughter, Montana, were found in a master bedroom with fatal gunshot wounds. The young girl, Jeanne, and the dog were found stabbed to death elsewhere in the residence.
Patrick Carlopoli, Modlin's boyfriend, is being held at Lee County Jail without bond on one count of second-degree murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit second-degree murder.
"We're not going to speak in great detail to why we think this occurred," said Sheriff Mike Scott, who referred to the scene as gruesome and unthinkable. "That's the first question everyone asks, 'Why this or that?' I don't know that anything could ever answer that question in this case."
