Korean Children Killed by American Adoptive Father

Four Korean children adopted into an American family in Iowa City, Iowa have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

The four children of Steven Sueppel - Ethan, Seth, Mira and Eleanor - were found dead at their home after their father killed himself in a fiery crash.

The four children had been adopted by Sueppel and his wife over the past ten years.

Sueppel, a distraught ex-banker, killed himself in a highway crash Monday shortly after calling police and confessing to the murder of his wife and children.

The FBI said Sueppel was accused of embezzling 560-thousand dollars from the bank where he'd been vice president.
