On November 25, 2016, Christie Brooks, 35, and her 18-year-old daughter Victoria Brooks were found dead in their Wellington Avenue home in Rochester, New York. Both women had been fatally stabbed. The bodies were discovered the day after Thanksgiving by one of Christie’s other seven children, who ranged in age from six to sixteen.

Authorities focused on Patrick Brooks, Christie’s 37-year-old estranged husband and Victoria’s father, who had been on parole for a prior robbery conviction and against whom Christie had filed for divorce the year before. Prosecutors said Patrick returned to the home late that night after Thanksgiving and stabbed Christie 29 times as she slept; Victoria was then stabbed 55 times after being awakened. In January 2017 he was indicted on two counts of second-degree murder; a Monroe County jury found him guilty in November 2017 and a judge sentenced him in December 2017 to 50 years to life.

The killings left seven children without their mother and oldest sister. Does anyone have information about the family or the home on Wellington Avenue that could shed more light on what happened?
