There are growing calls for accountability in the wake of a tragic double homicide that allegedly involved a state police lieutenant who previously served on Governor Murphy's security detail.

Now, authorities say 33-year-old veterinarian Lauren Semenchik and her boyfriend Tyler Webb were found shot to death in her Franklin Township home over the weekend, victims of what prosecutors say was a double murder allegedly carried out by Semenchik's ex-boyfriend.

State police lieutenant Ricardo Jorge Santos, who later died by suicide and was found in his car.

Semenchik's family is now asking whether law enforcement failed her when she asked for help.

According to the family, Semenchik had reported disturbing behavior by Santos like stalking, harassment, and vandalism to Franklin Township police back in May while seeking a restraining order, but was never able to speak to an officer and didn't receive a follow-up.

The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office is investigating.

A spokesperson for the governor and attorney general's office didn't return our request for comment, but previously said in a statement the governor was, quote, "shocked and devastated "by this horrific tragedy."

A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Lauren Semenchik's family.
