She wasn't leaving, despite Jeff's call. And, anyway, her mom had already said it was OK. More than three hours later, after the ice cream was eaten and Jeff had, again, ordered her home, Lynda and her friend walked up the block to Lynda's one-story, red-brick house on the block of Hoffman Avenue.

Lynda said goodbye, climbed the concrete porch steps and disappeared into the dark foyer. On Aug. Park Ridge police detectives noted the girl was wearing jeans and a red, white and blue T-shirt. On her wrist, a watch had stopped at Police would also detail, in their official report, that Lynda's mother, Ruth, lay beside her in the basement of their home, their bodies covered with a blanket and towels over their faces.

Two other bodies in the basement were that of Lynda's father, Raymond, and her other brother, year-old Scott, police said.

Roller told authorities that Ruth was supposed to have picked her up from O'Hare Airport but never showed up.

A neighbor came to collect Roller from the airport and the two stopped by the Fuchs home, but the house was dark and there was no answer at the door.

When Roller returned to her own home, she found something unusual there as well: the Fuchs family dog, described by Tribune reports at the time as a dachshund named Schatzi. The dog's water and food dish also had been dropped off, as had Jeff Fuchs' Maine East High School diploma — received just days earlier — and his yearbook, police said.
