(CNN) -- A federal judge who was once targeted for death by a white supremacist leader found two people dead inside her Chicago home when she returned Monday evening, police said.
U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow found the bodies about 6 p.m. (7 p.m. ET), police spokesman Pat Camden said.
Local media reports said the victims were Lefkow's husband, attorney Michael F. Lefkow, and her mother, Donna Humphrey, 89.
Police offered no details.
In April 2004, white supremacist Matthew Hale was found guilty on charges that he tried to arrange Lefkow's murder. The judge, presiding over a trademark infringement suit, had ordered Hale's group to stop using the name World Church of the Creator, which belonged to another religious group with no ties to Hale.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 6.
After his conviction, the FBI sent an advisory to police agencies nationwide, warning about possible violence from Hale sympathizers, after an openly racist Web site posted the home address and phone number of an FBI informant who testified against him during the trial.
Law enforcement officials said the Web site had incorrectly identified the informant, posting the name and address of another man with the same name who had nothing to do with the case.
