Police were called to the home of Misty Botke, the Eaton Rapids woman accused of sexually assaulting children at the VFW national home, Saturday night.

They say they are investigating her suicide, but will not give us any more details at this time.

Botke was arraigned on Tuesday on seven criminal sexual conduct charges.

The 44-year-old worked as a house parent for the VFW between 1991 and 2012.

Two men came forward, telling detectives she sexually assaulted them over the course of several years when they were children.
