Beam, 28, and her six-year-old daughter Anjelee Sanchez had been dead about four days when they were found Friday, lying side by side on a bed in their Sonoma apartment, Lt. Chris Spallino reported.
Detectives said notes and letters written by Beam and interviews with friends led them to suspect Beam killed Anjelee by giving her an overdose of medications, then took pills to kill herself, Spallino said.
Dozens of pills and medications were discovered in close proximity to the bodies. But investigators would not comment on what those medications were.
The autopsies were performed Monday morning as counselors descended on Prestwood Elementary School, where young Anjalee was a first-grade student.
