N.Y. family found dead during Loyola visit
On the afternoon of April 20, the bodies of a Loyola student and her family were found in a Towson Sheraton hotel room.
Stephanie Parente, a 19-year-old Loyola sophomore, was staying with her family, who were visiting the area from their home in Long Island, NY. Parente, her 11-year-old sister and her parents were all dead at the scene.
The Baltimore County police believe the killing was a murder-suicide committed by one of the parents.
On Monday, friends and neighbors in the Parentes' hometown grew concerned as they couldn't reach anyone in the family.
On-campus, students noticed Stephanie Parentes' absence from a chemistry exam. The last official record of her on campus was Sunday morning, when she swiped her ID card to have breakfast with her roommates in the cafeteria. Her friends knew Parente was staying with her family that weekend.
Baltimore County officers would not say whether or not a suicide note or any other evidence supporting a motive was found in the hotel room.
