"I could tell something might have been up yesterday just because they were really quiet, and there not really always quiet," one neighbor said. 

A person of interest was also inside the apartment and was taken into custody. He was identified as 45-year-old Barry M. Goldberg of Highland Park.

"The police would take him away for a couple days, and then they couldn't hold him anymore, so they really, really tried, they didn't ignore it," a neighbor said.

Barry Goldberg has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. A judge ordered him held on $5 million bond at a hearing Thursday afternoon.
