So, he kept telling people he was going to kill himself and no one did anything to help them? Ok.

Prayers for the daughter.

Heart breaking.

18 is an adult, not a girl. keeprightexcepttopass

Just because one is an adult, their gender doesn't change. I'm over 50 and I'm still a girl.

""Condolences to the rest of their family for this loss. Hope they find the killer(s) quickly and deal with them as they should be dealt with! Scubagirl"

Even reading just the headline should allow you to know that the killer is dead. finding him was easy, dealing with him would be a great deal harder. piene2"

***sigh*** while I realize they do NOT date stamp the headline changes and you do seem somewhat intelligent do you NOT realize that my comment was made BEFORE they sad the dad did it. Are you ALWAYS this contentious? oh wait yes you are.

What a shame. It makes me wonder if the daughter was about to turn on him. Was there a complete and thorough investigation into the deaths in 2004?

"Condolences to the rest of their family for this loss. Hope they find the killer(s) quickly and deal with them as they should be dealt with! Scubagirl"

Even reading just the headline should allow you to know that the killer is dead. finding him was easy, dealing with him would be a great deal harder.

I agree with djofraliegh - many lunatics out there -

" had the second wife returned from Texas with his two children whether or not this would be a bigger story, or no story"

Good point. The news DID say she had a 'bad feeling' and turned around-if so, that 'bad feeling' may have saved her and the other children's lives. Regardless of the whys it's a sad story all the way around and all the way back to the fire.

We pick at the headline enough and we don't have to face the fact that two people are dead, murdered by the father, one the father. WRAL is good about changing the headline as facts emerge. Someone down at the station is busy all day doing just that.

If people want to kill themselves that one thing... I have such a hard time understanding why people kill their children and/or spouses as well. Very sad situation here!
