"SPANISH FORK, UT — Investigators say a quadruple murder-suicide claimed the lives of a Spanish Fork family of four and another relative whose bodies were discovered Thursday night.
"According to Spanish Fork police, officers visited a home at 37 North 630 West Thursday night for a welfare check after Lindon police officer Joshua Boren failed to arrive for work.
"Officers said when they arrived, they noticed through a window that there was blood on the carpet of the front room as well as empty handgun shell casings. When officers entered the home, they found the bodies of five people who had all sustained gunshot wounds.
"Investigators said Joshua Boren, 34, killed four family members and then took his own life. They said no suicide note was found in the home.
"The four victims have been identified as Kelly Boren, 32, Joshua `Jaden` Boren, 7, Haley Boren, 5, and Marie King, 55. King has been identified as Kelly’s mother.
"Investigators said Joshua and Kelly had been experiencing marital problems for the past several months and recently separated.
"During a press conference Friday, Spanish Fork police said Joshua worked as an officer with the Lindon City Police Department. He also previously worked as a deputy with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office for about seven years as a patrol officer and with their corrections department.
"Spencer Cannon, Utah County Sheriff’s Office, said Joshua Boren resigned from UCSO, but was re-hired part-time.
"Cody Cullimore, the Lindon City Police Chief, said Joshua had been a Lindon police officer for about three months and he had already got to know the Boren family through some events held by the department.
"Cullimore said it was his understanding that Joshua and Kelly Boren had separated, but were on friendly terms.
"`There were no red flags. Everything about him was outstanding,` Cullimore said in an interview Friday morning. `[It is] a tragedy on so many levels. We may never know what happened, why it happened. Unfortunately, the people that know are no longer here.`"
