Detective Sgt. John Nikotopolis of the Croton Police Department said there was nothing new in the investigation and they were still waiting for all of the toxicology reports to come in.

Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the Westchester County District Attorney's Office,said they were still waiting for the medical examiner to determine the cause and manner of death. 

"It's a pending investigation," Chalfen said. 

A toxic mix of different drugs were present in LaceyCarr's system, the toxicology report revealed, according to a News 12 report. FiOS1 News previously reported Lacey Carr had significant amounts of Benadryl in her system.

Dymes and Lacey were found by Lacey's father, David Carr. Dymes and Lacey lived at the home with Dymes' father, Kevin.
