(CBS) DOUBLE SPRINGS, Ala. - Four people found shot to death Wednesday in a car in Alabama died in what authorities are now calling a suicide pact, CBS affiliate WIAT reports.

The Associated Press previously reported that police said the deaths appeared to be the result of a murder-suicide, but WIAT reports at least two people knew the group had been planning a suicide pact and each victim left behind a suicide note saying they were innocent of child sex crimes allegations.

Winston County Sheriff Rick Harris says 29-year-old Robert Hamrick killed his 39-year-old ex-wife, Kristi Hunt Hamrick, 30-year-old Kevin Carey and 37-year-old Keith Hunt, who has been identified as Kristi's brother, before turning the gun on himself.

The Associated Press previously reported Harris said Keith Hunt had killed the others, then himself.

Robert Hamrick and Kristi Hunt Hamrick both faced charges of child pornography and child sex abuse, but all four left behind suicide notes saying they would rather be dead than go to prison, WIAT reports.

4. they should have done it before the sexual abuse

just like Ariel Castro who should have done it before the first kidnapping.

5. Wow. People are quick to assume that they were guilty merely because they were charged.

On edit: And two of them haven't even been charged with anything, although the article does say that all four denied the allegations.
