WATERTOWN, Conn. (AP) _ Police are investigating the killings of two people whose partly decomposed bodies were found in a house in Watertown.

Police say they’re treating the deaths as homicides. Neighbors called police at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday to report a foul odor.

Chief John C. Gavallas wasn’t sure when the two were killed, but said it appeared the bodies had been there for several days.

He says one victim was a male and the other appears to have been a female.

Police are not releasing the identities of the two people until family members are notified.

Watertown police say a 2007 Grey Lincoln Town Car with Connecticut license plates is missing from the house. The rear bumper of the vehicle appears to be held on by duct tape.
