I just returned from Biddison Lane in Northeast Baltimore's Waltherson neighborhood where the bodies of two women were found early Wednesday. The bodies had been inside since at least this weekend, and an upstairs neighbor told me she called police after she went inside the house and found the bodies on the bed.

She went in because of the continued smell. "At first I thought it was trash," she said.

The couple remains unidentified though the neighbors described them as a married female couple that had recently gone to Boston to get married. They owned a small white poodle that one neighbor said she found when she went into the house on Wednesday evening and discovered the two bodies on a bed. "The dog was just standing there, watching," the woman told me.

Baltimore police have released few details, including how the couple died and their names. They rented the first floor a semi-detached brick house just off Belair Road and had lived there for a little more than a year. Neighbors said they had worked as security guards but at the time of their deaths were unemployed.

The neighbors are planning a candlelight vigil for 7 p.m. Friday at the house. They said one of the front windows was open and that a side window leading the basement, with access to the first floor, appeared to have been forced open; it was adjar when I looked at it about an hour ago. A window air conditioner was on in the bedroom where the bodies had been found.

I'll provide updates as they become available.
