WILL COUNTY, Ill. - A 30-year-old Indiana woman is facing multiple charges of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of three people at a home in south suburban Will County.

Jacob Lambert, 32, had an "on/off relationship" with Strouble, police said.

After being called to a home in the 3400 block of E. Norway Trail in Crete Township early Monday morning, deputies found Lambert dead in a car in the driveway. His parents, Patrick Forde, 55, and Stacy Forde, 54, were also found dead inside the home on the first floor near the front door, police said.

Investigators learned Strouble fled the scene to her home in St. John, Indiana, where local police arrested her. Strouble gave incriminating statements to police and officers found a gun, which matched the one used in the killings.

What's next:

She’s being held in the Lake County, Indiana, jail and will be extradited back to Illinois to face charges.

It's unclear when Strouble will be transferred to Illinois.
