On January 10, 2019, the bodies of 37-year-old Nichol Olsen, along with her 2 daughters, 16-year-old Alexa Montez and 10-year-old London Bribiescas were found in the upscale Anaqua Springs Ranch home of Nichol’s boyfriend, Charlie Wheeler. The Medical Examiner ruled this was a case of murder suicide, where Nichol killed her two daughters and then herself. However, that theory has been questioned, and there is some belief that this could have been a triple homicide.
