   Police investigating 911 calls from a home linked to Southern   
   California's "furry" dress-up community found two young girls   
   standing on the front porch, three slain bodies inside and a   
   blood-spattered dog, court papers on Tuesday showed.   
      
   The documents, published by the Orange County Register, shed new   
   light on the shotgun killings in late September of 39-year-old   
   Jennifer Goodwill-Yost, a woman local media described as popular   
   among the Orange County furry subculture, her husband   
   Christopher Yost, 34, and friend Arthur "Billy" Boucher, 28.   
      
   Reuters was not immediately able to obtain a copy of the court   
   documents.   
      
   Two men who local media say also have ties to the furry fandom,   
   21-year-old Joshua Acosta and Frank Felix, 25, were arrested and   
   charged with three counts of first-degree murder.   
      
   The furry subculture consists of people drawn to anthropomorphic   
   creatures, interacting as their animal identities online and   
   attending conventions dressed in so-called "fursuits."   
      
   According to search warrant affidavits filed on the day of the   
   murder and published on Tuesday, police were called to the   
   beige, one-story home in Fullerton by a child who said that her   
   parents were dead.   
      
   Officers arrived to find two girls, aged six and nine, standing   
   on the front porch, the affidavits show. Inside, one of the male   
   victims was dead on the couch, a gunshot wound to his head.   
      
   In the bedroom, the officers discovered the body of Goodwill-   
   Yost in a bed, also dead from a shotgun blast, the report said.   
      
   The remains of the second male victim were found just outside a   
   doorway to the backyard, with wounds that the officers initially   
   mistook for blunt force trauma, the documents show.   
      
   Evidence collected by forensic scientists at the home included   
   items of clothing, shotgun pellets, an orange backpack and swabs   
   of blood from various places, including the door of a Dodge van   
   in the garage and a dog's back.   
      
   In the hours after the murders were discovered police initially   
   said that Goodwill-Yost's 17-year-old daughter, Katlynn Goodwill-   
   Yost, had gone missing.   
      
   Following the arrests of Acosta, a U.S. Army private based in   
   Texas, and Felix, of Los Angeles, police said Katlynn Goodwill-   
   Yost had been found safe and that an unnamed 17-year-old girl   
   had been taken into custody in connection with the crime.   
      
   Authorities declined to say if Katlynn Goodwill-Yost was the   
   third suspect arrested, saying state law barred disclosure of   
   such information about juveniles.   
      
   The teen, whose social media pages are replete with pictures of   
   her dressed in animal costumes, has not been charged in the case.
