Summary
Doral police found Melanie Hyer, 46, Ryan Whiten, 42, and their daughters, 11 and 8, dead with stab wounds during a welfare check Tuesday evening in Doral Isles.
Miami-Dade homicide detectives classified the case as a murder-suicide, but authorities have not said who they believe carried out the stabbings.
WSVN reported Whiten's ex-wife described his relationship with Hyer as toxic and said the former couple had been disputing custody of their two daughters.
Doral Mayor Christi Fraga said she personally knew Hyer and called the deaths a painful loss for the community, while the girls' elementary school said it was mourning two beloved students.
