CHICAGO - A federal judge who was once the target of a failed murder plot by a white supremacist found two bodies in her home when she returned from work, reportedly those of her husband and 89-year-old mother.

Supremacist Matthew Hale was convicted last year of soliciting an undercover FBI informant to kill U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow and is awaiting sentencing.

On Monday, Lefkow stumbled across the bodies of her husband, attorney Michael F. Lefkow, and her mother, Donna Humphrey, 89, who was visiting from Denver, according to the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune.

Police confirmed the judge found two people were dead in the home around 6 p.m. but would not identify the victims. They gave no indication whether the two deaths were related to the Hale case.

Michael Lefkow, 64, and Humphrey were each shot in the head, according to the Tribune, which cited unidentified sources. No weapon was found but authorities did recover two .22-caliber casings, the newspaper reported.
