Police called the crime scene on Farm Avenue "messy and cluttered", making it difficult to process. Police had to use a special X-ray machine to figure out how many victims there were.
Police were first called to the scene late Saturday night, when a woman staying at the home ran out and flagged down a passing driver for help. The woman was taken to the State Police barracks in Danvers, where she told officers that there had been a crime in the home.
