Police continue searching for alleged killer

The search for Tyrone Adair, the man who allegedly killed his two young children and their mothers, continued over the weekend, and the quadruple homicide became a joint investigation including the Madison and Middleton police departments and the Dane County Sheriff's Office.

On Friday the Dane County Coroner's Office identified the victims as Amber Weigel, 25, and Neveah Weigel-Adair, 2, both of Madison, and Tracy Graser, 33, and Deja Adair, 23 months, both of Middleton.

According to the coroner's investigation, Weigel and Weigel-Adair were ""victims of homicidal firearm attacks"" and Graser and Deja Adair were ""victims of homicidal attacks that were not related to firearms.""

At about 6 p.m. Thursday, Madison police were called to the 6800 block of Park Edge Drive, about five miles southwest of the UW-Madison campus, where Weigel and Weigel-Adair were found fatally shot in a vehicle parked inside their garage.

The second incident took place in the parking lot of the Forest Ridge Apartments on Branch Street in Middleton, where Graser and Deja Adair were also found dead in a car.

Members of Tyrone Adair's family encouraged him to turn himself in Saturday night at a news conference held at the MPD's West District headquarters.

According to Madison court records, Tyrone Adair had been involved in two paternity cases in 2008, one involving a woman located on the 6800 block of Park Edge Drive and the other with a woman who lived in Middleton. In 2000, Tyrone Adair was convicted of battery.

According to authorities, Tyrone Adair may be traveling in a silver GMC Acadia with the Wisconsin license plate 342-EBL. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately. He is considered armed and dangerous, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Members of Weigel's family also released a statement expressing their sorrow over the loss of Weigel and her daughter.

""Amber was our sister, our daughter, our granddaughter and our aunt. She was a loving girlfriend, a dedicated mother and a loyal friend and ally to many people,"" the statement said.

Family called Neveah a ""loving little girl, full of spark and personality.""

Anyone with information related to the case is encouraged to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.

A memorial fund for Weigel and her daughter has been set up at Summit Credit Union. Donations can be mailed to Summit Credit Union at P.O. Box 8046.
