Karpinski is believed to have killed his family, and then himself, according to Berkshire District Attorney Andrea Harrington.<br />

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The couple were high school sweethearts, attending Wahconah Regional High. Teachers there described them as &#8216;two outstanding student citizens&#8217;.<br />
Retired Principal Tom Callahan told ;<a class="class" href="https://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/husband-wife-found-after-sheffield-fire-were-just-two-outstanding-student-citizens,567652" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Berkshire Eagle</a>: &#8216;I remember them very well. My memory of them is just two outstanding student citizens. It was a heck of a group of kids in that graduating class.<br />
&#8216;That was a happy class. We had a good time with them. It&#8217;s just, obviously, a tragedy. I feel just awful for them, their whole family.&#8217;<br />

They started dating as seniors in 1996 and were high achievers who went off to college after graduating. ;Wilbur&#8217;s sister, Kristen said they started their careers in Alexandria, ;Virginia before returning to ;Massachusetts around seven years later.<br />
&#8216;It is with grief and immeasurable sorrow that we learned of the death of our friend and colleague Justine M. Wilbur, who died with her family yesterday,&#8217; the law firm of Hoffman Warnick said.<br />
&#8216;Justine was a talented attorney who joined our team in 2017 after having built a reputation both domestically and internationally as a patent expert. Her work was both meaningful and challenging having encompassed topics ranging from cancer treatment and nanotechnology to advanced materials.<br />
&#8216;Justine was smart, knowledgeable, dedicated and hardworking. She was a devoted mother to her wonderful children, and a true friend to everyone in our firm.<br />
&#8216;We are each devastated by loss and extraordinary sadness, but are comforted and grateful for having shared Justine&#8217;s infectious spirit and energy.<br />
&#8216;We pray for her family and those who loved her.&#8217;<br />
Before becoming an attorney, Justine was a scientist focusing on cancer research, reports say.</p>
