Mohr and the Pauls are being held on $1.5 million bail each.

Eureka attorney Larry Killoran made a special court appearance today for Tamara Paul. Killoran said he also was appearing on behalf of attorney Neal Sanders, who may be hired to represent David Paul.Their arraignment was put off until Monday to confirm they have counsel.

Mohr was arraigned last week and has a preliminary hearing set for Monday.
