Officials are awaiting autopsy results in the apparent murder-suicide of a Hillsborough Township mother and daughter.

Authorities say the father of 21-year-old Sara Emiliano found his daughter dead and bloody Saturday night after returning home from work. Investigators found two carving knives, a hatchet and a note from the victim's mother at the scene on Tally Ho Trail. Police believe Emiliano was stabbed to death, but are awaiting findings from a medical examiner.

Police found the body of 57-year-old Emmalene Emiliano, the victim's mother, in the Millstone River in Montgomery Township Sunday morning. Authorities believe Emmalene wrote the note, which they say admits to the crime, before taking her own life. Police do not have a motive at this time.
