MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- An Iraq war veteran who police say shot and killed his pregnant wife and young daughter before turning the gun on himself left behind no clues to explain what might have prompted the bloodshed, investigators say.

There was no note and no evidence that there had been trouble between 23-year-old Matthew Magdzas and his wife, 26-year-old April Oles-Magdzas, before the shootings, detectives said.

Oles-Magdzas' mother found the bodies of the couple, their 13-month-old daughter, Lila, and their three dogs on Wednesday - the same day Oles-Magdzas was set to deliver her second daughter, friends said.

Detectives said they haven't found any evidence the couple was having money issues or was overly stressed by the pending birth of their daughter. They apparently had been faithful to each other, investigators said, adding they had no reports of any domestic disputes between them.

"Unfortunately, sometimes in these things, if they don't leave a note, we don't definitely have a why. (It's) tough for the family, tough for the friends, tough for the community," said Superior Police Capt. Chad La Lor.
