Officers went to check on the welfare of a resident at 5853 Rosslyn Ave. who had not been heard from since Wednesday, said Sgt. Paul Thompson.

Avery Elzy, 34, and Michael Hunt, 22, were found dead in the home, along with a pit bull, Thompson said. Three other pit bulls were also removed from the home.

Detectives said they were looking for a blue 2001 four-door Mercury Sable that should have been at the house. The vehicle has an Indiana 2009 Children's Trust license plate No. KW1329, along with custom 22-inch rims, television monitors in the headrests and the phrase "sexy and independent" painted on the rear of the car.

Police said they believe the vehicle may either be headed to or already in the Fort Wayne area.

Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS or 800-222-TIPS.
