On Friday, the 66-year-old woman was released from the hospital after receiving medical treatment.
The 68-year-old man, who was stabbed over a dozen times, remains in critical condition.
The 36-year-old, who suffered multiple stab wounds, was airlifted to an area hospital and also remains in critical condition, police said.
Detectives say they were informed of a possible motive for the attack.
The 36-year-old man was allegedly angry at his mother-in-law and father-in-law (the victims) about a current divorce between him and their daughter.
He was also allegedly angry that he had to report to jail Friday to serve his sentence related to a previous arrest for domestic battery against his wife.
Police say other family members in this case are safe.
Detectives are still investigating this incident.
There is no danger to the public, police said.
The investigation is ongoing.
