The Portage County Sheriff's Department has identified the mother and two young children found dead in a gasoline-soaked home in Nelsonville.

Sheriff John Charewicz says 30-year-old Christine Gollon, 3-year-old Ashley Kettner and 2-year-old Griffin Kettner were found dead Thursday. Charewicz says their cause of death is pending the result of autopsies.

The sheriff says 36-year-old Shane Kettner has been arrested. He has not been formally charged.

Deputies went to the home Wednesday night at Gollon's mother's request to check on her daughter's welfare.

Charewicz says no one answered the door but officers saw a baby in an infant swing, assumed nothing was wrong and left. They found the family during a second check the next morning.
