"At this time investigators believe this to be a domestic-related murder-suicide situation," Okada said.
A sixth body was found alongside the road about a mile from the home Tuesday morning. Police said it wasn't known whether that death was related.
Police haven't released any names.
"It was just really surreal what was going on down there," said Dan Grove, a neighbor. "I basically witnessed people screaming and saying that there were people in the house, and I just feel bad for the family."
