CONOVER, N.C. — Screaming and sobbing, a teenage girl dialed 911 to report that a friend had been yanked into her own North Carolina home by a strange man who was stabbing and beating her.

By the time authorities arrived, the friend and three family members were dead.

Recordings of the teen’s panicked calls were released Friday as authorities near Conover, about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte, tried to piece together what happened.

They say Lisa Saephan and her three children — Melanie, 20; Pauline 18, and Cody, 3 — were stabbed or shot to death in their home early Thursday.

About 30 investigators were digging for clues, including hitting the streets and stopping drivers in the neighborhood.
