Four people are dead, their bodies discovered Monday morning at a business in southeast Mandan, following what authorities are calling a “multiple homicide.” The public is not in danger, according to police, who are searching for a suspect.

The victims, three male adults and one female adult, have not been positively identified, according to Mandan Police Chief Jason Ziegler, therefore next of kin have not yet been notified. Police also did not release any details on the manner of the deaths.

Mandan Police responded to a medical call at RJR Maintenance and Management, owned by Robert and Jackie Fakler, at about 7:30 a.m. Monday. Upon arrival, officers discovered the four bodies inside the building.

“These four people didn’t do it themselves,” Ziegler said, noting it’s quite a large crime scene and no suspects have been identified. “Until we catch whoever did it, we’ll be looking for them. The investigation does not lead us to believe that anyone else is in danger. It looks like an isolated incident.”

The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting with the processing of the crime scene. The Morton County Sheriff's Office also responded. According to Ziegler, investigators remained at RJR, 1106 32nd Ave. S.E., Monday night.
