Farrell's brother, Rolf Eggers, says Fakler was "kind and cheerful" and he wishes he could turn back time and warn him.

A married couple who had recently bought their dream home were among the four people found slain at a property management company in the North Dakota city of Mandan.

Briann Miller of Girard, Illinois, tells The Associated Press that her 45-year-old mother, Lois Cobb, and 50-year-old stepdad, Bill Cobb, were killed. Police haven't released the names of the victims found Monday at RJR Maintenance and Management.
