The man and woman found dead a week ago in a murder-suicide at a Jacksonville hotel may have left their Kellow Circle home just ahead of another investigation.
Police identified the couple Monday saying David Frederick Harbach, 46, shot Kaede Lambert, 48, then shot himself in the Hampton Inn and Suites at 4415 Southside Blvd. Hotel staff found them dead from gunshots just before 1 p.m. July 31 when they went to clean their room, police said. A gun was found inside, as were sealed notes addressed to different people.
Harbach and Lambert had both filed for divorces from their respective spouses in the last couple of years, according to Duval County court records.
Harbach, who was blind, used to run a sandwich shop in the federal office building at 400 W. Bay St. Kaede and Jeffery Lambert previously ran Lambcorp Enterprises.
A man who answered the telephone at Jeffery Lambert’s home didn’t want to comment.
Harbach and Lambert had lived in a rented home in a comfortable neighborhood off University Boulevard South near Pottsburg Creek.
A Harbach family member had just arrived at the home Monday afternoon and wouldn’t comment other than to say he was stunned and waiting to talk with detectives.
Neighbor Kevin Conway said an officer who questioned him about Harbach on the afternoon of the murder had some information.
“He had indicated that he [Harbach] had not shown up for a new job and somebody had put in a missing person’s report on him,” Conway said.
Another neighbor said federal agents and police had been at Harbach’s vacated home two days’ before the shootings and confiscated a computer. Authorities couldn’t confirm any details.
Neighbors said Lambert, who in January had moved in, drove him everywhere.
