LILLINGTON - A neighbor of Danielle Falls Biggs was troubled by her strange behavior in the final days before Biggs, her two children and the family pet were found dead in their Harnett County home.

Biggs had talked of religion and "the end," her unidentified neighbor said in a May 5 call placed to Harnett County 911 at 3:32 p.m

Authorities released a tape of the call Thursday night.

"I was kind of concerned," the neighbor told a dispatcher.

About 25 minutes after the neighbor placed the call, a deputy forced his way into the Biggses' home on Cherry Hill Drive in Oakmont, a gated community in Anderson Creek.

Inside, he found the bodies of Biggs, 35, and her two children, 3-year-old Benjamin and 21-month-old Gwendolyn.

A gun was found near Biggs' body. Sheriff's Office investigators believe she killed her children and the family's dog and then turned the gun on herself.

Biggs' husband, Air Force Master Sgt. Matthew Biggs, who is assigned to the Joint Communications Unit of the Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, had been deployed at the time of the shootings.

The neighbor said Matthew Biggs had been asking her regularly to check on his family.

"He's had a really hard time lately getting hold of her and he's been having me go over about daily," the neighbor told the dispatcher.

The call began with the neighbor saying she and Danielle Biggs' mother, who lives in West Virginia, were concerned.

"She (Biggs) hasn't been acting right," the caller said.

The night before, the neighbor said, Biggs called and asked her to come over.

"She was asking a lot of questions about religion and what do I believe, what do I think is going to happen in the end," the caller said.

There was another unusual conversation before that, she continued. "She was talking about her husband being dead on the decisions she made and I kept trying to get her to explain what she was talking about."

"Like the decisions she would have to make or decisions already made?" the dispatcher asked.

"I couldn't get anything out of her," the neighbor replied. "She would sit there, super quiet and not say anything and just randomly look over at me and ask me, you know, how do I feel about the end coming."

Biggs was last seen about midnight, the neighbor said. Biggs had gone to the neighbor's house, with her children, and had to be asked to leave because of the late hour.

A history of 911 calls from the house was also released.

On Sept. 17, someone from the home called 911 and hung up. No one answered the phone when the dispatcher called back.

On Jan. 13, someone at the home called and wanted to report an assault in West Virginia. The caller hung up as the dispatcher tried to assist.

On Feb. 2, Biggs called 911 and said she had smelled something burning in her home earlier, but no longer did.

"She does need someone to check the same out and she advised that she may have some carbon monoxide issues," the dispatcher's notes say.

Three fire departments - Anderson Creek, Benhaven and Spout Springs - responded, as did Harnett County Emergency Services.
