QUOTE BEULAH, Fla. -Â Investigators searched Friday for three men wanted for questioning about the Thursday night home-invasion deaths of the mother and father of 16 children.
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office said the men were driving a red full-size van when they were seen leaving the home of Byrd and Melanie Billings after the Escambia County couple were found shot to death in the bedroom of their home in Beulah, just west of Pensacola near the Alabama border.
Sgt. Ted Roy, a sheriff's office spokesman, said the men may have been involved in the slayings.
The couple were the parents of 16 children - 12 adopted.
Authorities say the eight children living in the home were found safe. They say deputies had to wake some of the children who ranged from 8 to 14 years old.
The couple owned several local businesses and were known for their generosity taking in children with disabilities and from troubled backgrounds.
Roy said investigators were meeting Friday morning and had no new information about the case.
"We don't know who did this," he said.
When the couple married 18 years ago and each had two children from previous marriages, according to a 2005 story about the family from the News Journal. The Billings then began adopting children with developmental disabilities and other problems. The family lived in a nine-bedroom rural home.
In the 2005 story the couple said they wanted to share their wealth with children in need, but that they did not imagine their family would grow so large.
"It just happened," Melanie Byrd told the newspaper. "I just wanted to give them a better life."

Case Murder Billings Melanie and Byrd
In the a Dateline documentary a lot of insight was revealed into this case. This was a hit and not merely a home invasion. It seems that Bud Billings financed used car lots and those people that were financed likely did not want to pay money they owed to the Billings. In other words the Billings were marked for death as men from various backgrounds planned a week or more in advance to kill them. They left many special children behind because of the greed of monsters!

The seven persons accused of the brutal murder plead not guilty. I do not understand how they could do that if there is a video that shows the whole thing!

If they wish to go through a trail and waste taxpayer money by pleading not guilty then let them. I wonder how the defense is going to dispute the video evidence that shows the brutal killing of these two people. I hope those accused spend some good time with bubba.
