Documents detailing the Oct. 31 crime have been sealed, including the cause and manner of death. The teenager has undergone a psychological examination.
Police say a 911 call led them to the parents' bodies. A neighbor says she called for help in the early morning hours after she heard a woman come to her door saying that someone had a gun and she feared for her life.
