A brutal triple homicide took place inside a two-story home in St. Louis on May 22, 2016. Neighbors reported flames from the first-floor windows about 4:40 a.m.; firefighters found the bodies of 56-year-old Melvin Thomas, his 31-year-old partner Marquita Jones-Smith, and their six-month-old daughter Madison Thomas.

Investigators determined Thomas and Jones-Smith had sustained gunshot wounds and that the fire was set intentionally, with the flames apparently used to try to conceal the killings. Madison was not shot and was left to perish in the blaze. Family members publicly sought help after the murders, but no suspects have been identified and no arrests announced.

Does anyone have information about the Elmbank Avenue house or those who may have been in the neighborhood that morning?
