A wealthy family of four, residing in Cross River in Westchester county, were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in their home Tuesday afternoon. Police have identified the victims as married couple, Amy and Samuel Friedlander, as well as their two kids, Molly, 11 and Gregory, 8. Amy Friedlander was a vice president for Chase Manhattan Bank but neighbors said she had left that job and recently opened a tutoring and college preparatory business in the community. Sam Friedlander was an associate counsel of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in Manhattan, according to the Journal News. WCBS-TV is reporting the couple were in the midst of a nasty and bitter divorce.
