May 5, 2018:

State police are seeking to identify a body found Saturday morning in the woods off Kenwood Road in Griswold.

The Eastern District Major Crimes unit is investigating, but there was no word Saturday as to the cause of death. Police said there is no danger to the community.

The investigation was launched after police were notified that a body had been spotted in that section of woodland.

Same road his parent's house was on.

Police did not say what led them to identify Matthew Lindquist as a person of interest.

GRISWOLD, CT (WFSB) -

The Connecticut State Police detectives arrested a woman in connection with the deaths of three Griswold residents.

Hartford Police and State Police detectives arrested 24-year-old Hartford resident Ruth Correa and charged her with murder with special circumstances, home invasion, robbery, and arson.

Police said the investigation began in December 2017 when Griswold residents, husband and wife, Kenneth and Janet Lindquist’s bodies were found amidst the rubble after their*Kenwood Estates home was destroyed by a large, early morning fire. *

Shortly thereafter, Glastonbury Police responded to a fire in an abandoned car on Nanel Drive in the Glastonbury Luxury Apartments in Glastonbury just an hour later. Police said then that the*house fire in Griswold and Glastonbury were connected.

Three days after the connected fires, police said they developed a person of interest in the deaths of Kenneth and Janet Lindquist.

[h=1]Woman arrested in connection with murder of Griswold family[/h]

Initially State Police were looking for Matthew Lindquist, son of the victims, who was a person of interest. On May 5, 2018, state police found human remains in the woods near the same area of the house fire. Those remains were later identified by officials as Matthew Lindquist.

On May 11, State Police along Hartford police served two search ans seizure warrants on addresses in Hartford. Police said that numerous items of evidence were gained and several people were interviewed.

Early Saturday morning, Ruth Correa, 23 of Hartford, was taken into custody and transported to Troop E in Montville. Correa was charged with murder with special circumstances, three counts of felony murder, home invasion, arson in the first degree, and robbery in the first degree. She is being held 2.5 million bond and is scheduled to be in Norwich court May 14.

The investigation remains ongoing and police anticipate more arrests.

BBM. I'm guessing drugs are somehow involved. JMO.

Finally.

Griswold is about 25 miles from me. I kept checking the local news since December for any new developments.

Can't imagine what this has been like for the family, especially with Matt having been named a person of interest. There were never any obituaries published for the parents and no public funeral announcements.

There was word that Matt did have a drug problem, so a lot of people assumed he was the one responsible for killing his parents and the fire. Kid did not have a big network of friends, so if he was alive I expected there to be some leads on his whereabouts, but there was nothing. The weather here in CT was brutally cold for two weeks starting just after Christmas.

Waiting to see if the coroner can establish cause of death.

Yeah it's like everything was dropped from the news. Like the kid just disappeared. I'm glad that now his family and friends won't have to suffer anymore with not knowing

Seems like LE may have dropped the ball if they did not search the area around the house. Sounds like they assumed that he had taken the family vehicle and torched it in Glastonbury that same morning. The reports make it sound like the body was found in the woods close to the house and only 10 feet away from the road.

What I found interesting was how quickly LE homed in on this woman once the body had been identified. It was a matter of mere days for them to get a search warrant and it appears that they found property belonging to the Lindquists in her place. Why let the info languish for as long as it did?

 

[rats]

What a horrible, horrible situation. Rest in peace to Matthew, Kenneth, and Janet.

 

[gcharlie]

"On Monday, the state medical examiner released the causes of death for all three and the descriptions provide detail of the level of violence that occurred inside their Kenwood Estates home before they died.

Janet Lindquist died of “homicidal violence including blunt impact injuries to the head” and smoke inhalation, which means she was alive when her house was set on fire.

Kenneth Lundquist died of “homicidal violence including multiple skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries.” There was no smoke found in his lungs, indicating he was dead before the fire started, sources said.

Matthew Lindquist escaped the house but was killed as he tried to run away, a source said. The medical examiner said that Matthew Lindquist died of multiple stab wounds to the head, chest and torso. A source said that he was stabbed more than 40 times."

A son helped plan a ‘fake robbery’ of his father’s guns, police say. He and his parents ended up dead.

Well, that was a plan that went all wrong! Setting up a fake robbery in exchange for drugs...…….

That was a shocker for me. Glad that lady suspect spilled the beans

This explains why police initially suspected Matthew was in hiding instead of dead. They probably had his texts and they knew from his brother that he had been struggling with drugs. JMO.

Sergio Correa Admitted Role In Griswold Triple Homicide To Witness, Unsealed Warrant Reveals

Sergio Correa, the violent felon charged with killing three people and then setting their Griswold home on fire last December, implicated himself in the crime in conversations with a close friend, according to the warrant for his arrest.

....

On Dec. 20, according to the warrant, Sergio Correa called the witness over to his car to show off several long guns and boxes and bags of ammunition in the trunk. He later told the witness he sold one of the guns and buried the other, the warrant says.

Over subsequent days, the witness told state police, Sergio Correa said that he and his sister set fire to the house in Griswold, that they killed the Lindquists, with Sergio Correa killing Kenneth Lindquist and Ruth Correa killing Janet Lindquist, and that Sergio Correa said he had gone to Griswold to collect money that was owed to him.

Ruth Correa had told detectives that she was covered with blood after the killings, and got into her brother’s car wearing bloody clothes. The witness told police that, immediately after the killings, Sergio Correa replace the car’s interior, including the seats.

Next court date for each appears to be 7/19/19.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

During the second day of testimony in New London Superior Court in the probable cause hearing for her adopted brother, Sergio Correa, Ruth Correa walked Assistant State’s Attorney Stephen Carney through the hours before and after midnight on Dec. 20, 2017 that ended with Matthew, Kenneth and Janet Lindquist mutilated and dead and their family home at 70 Kenwood Estates destroyed by fire.

Ruth Correa, who acknowledged her testimony was given in exchange for a 40-year sentence agreement on three counts of murder, said she and her brother traveled to Griswold as part of a scheme to steal guns from Kenneth Lindquist, a plan she said was worked out without her knowledge between her brother and 21-year-year-old Matthew Lindquist as part of a drug deal.

Ruth Correa said she and her brother pulled up to a wooded area near the Lindquist home and met with Matthew Lindquist, who she described as fidgety and nervous. She said the younger Lindquist jumped from the vehicle with Sergio Correa on his heels.

″(Sergio) hit him with a machete in the back of the head,” she said.

The pair followed the injured man into the woods where Ruth Correa was handed a double-edged sword by her brother who she said “made me stab him.” The two, each armed with a knife, continued to stab Matthew Lindquist at least 20 times as the young man pleaded with alleged killers.

“I could smell it, the metallic smell of blood,” she said. “We left him there covered with sticks. And we walked to the house.”

As courtroom guests sobbed and Eric Lindquist, the brother and son of the victims, was comforted by a court victim’s advocate, Ruth Correa in excruciating detail recalled entering the home and the subsequent hours of terror inflicted on Janet and Kenneth Lindquist as the Correa siblings, armed with a golf club and bat, looted the home, a crime she said her brother planned to pass off as a robbery by black men.

She said Kenneth Lindquist and her brother struggled on the first floor of the ranch-style home before Sergio Correa struck the homeowner with the bat several times until he was still.

“It sounded like a bat hitting wood,” she said.
