Police are searching for the boyfriend of the woman whose body was found in a Queens house of horrors along with that of her son and a family friend, police and sources said.
Detectives are looking for Travis Blake, 29, who they suspect killed Karleen Barnett, 55, her son Dervon Brightly, 35, and family friend Varshana “Brittany” Malcolm, 22. Their maimed bodies were found inside the single-family house on 155 St. near 116 Rd. in South Jamaica on Friday.

Barnett’s other son made the horrifying discovery, finding each victim stabbed repeatedly.
Malcolm, who was visiting the family from Jamaica, was put on a bed in a second-floor bedroom. Her hands were bound together and her mouth duct taped, cops said.

Emergency Service Unit officers took down a basement door, where they found Barnett and her son.
They had been stabbed multiple times and Brightly suffered head trauma, police and sources said.
The victims had been dead “for at least three days” before Barnett’s son discovered them. He was taken into custody for questioning and was released when detectives determined he wasn’t involved in the carnage, police sources said.
Days before she was slain, Malcolm — who had only been in the city for a couple of weeks — made a call to a brother in Jamaica, telling him Blake was at the house to pick up some of his belongings, police sources said. Blake’s last known address is also the house where Barnett, Brightly and Malcolm were found dead, police said.
Police on Wednesday released photos of Blake, asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
