Woman shot dead father of her children before killing his parents inside their Illinois home, cops say

Police say Jenna Strouble crossed state lines from Indiana to Illinois to carry out the killings
Jenna Strouble, 30, has been charged with first-degree murder in the killings of 32-year-old Jacob Lambert and his parents, Stacy Forde, 54, and Patrick Forde, 55, in unincorporated Crete Township earlier this week.

Authorities have not released a motive, but said Strouble had an on/off relationship with Lambert, and they had children together.

It’s unclear where the children were at the time of the killings.

"The preliminary investigation shows this was a targeted incident,” investigators said.

“During the detectives' interviews, Strouble gave incriminating statements, following the homicides.”
A firearm believed to have been used in the killings was recovered, but officials have not released details.

Strouble is being held at the Lake County Jail in Indiana.

She is expected to be extradited to Illinois at a future date.
