The time of death on Tuesday also coincides with what’s referred to as a blue moon, which occurs every three years,” Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said.

Investigators found no sign of forced entry. One of the victims, Richard Smith was employed by the Department of Homeland Security and worked at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
