Family of five buried in Indian style clothing and wolf-tooth necklaces
The Humphrey family of Elyria died in a self-inflicted gunfire pact linked to an Apache sun god. Leonard Karl Humphrey 35 and wife Laurel 30, with children aged 9, 7 and 6, were found shot in their trailer at 518 Fillmore St. They planned to wear laid out clothes and wolf-tooth necklaces for burial. The note described their belief and ritual, with Humphrey described as partly Apache and a former sewer plant operator and wildlife reservation partner. Surviving relatives include Pearl Puntney of Lorain and several Schuerger siblings.
