I'm doing fine just hating them for their actions. I don't care about their mentality - understanding "how" would not bring any of the children back. I, however, do know the cure. ;)

She and the kids may have actually left for that period of time.

It was Conrad's visitation weekend. She probably wanted to frame him! My husband would never enter the home of his son, even if the door was unlocked. Ex-wives can be crazy!!

the door unlock and why he didn’t go in stumps me too
don’t you think they tested him for gun residue to eliminate him from a suspect?

I think a mother who does this is functioning in an irrational, insane manner that can't be explained or understood by anyone else. even if it was along the lines of extreme hatred/revenge for bio dad, that still doesn't really make sense; it's truly crazy. I'm not arguing she was legally insane. Who knows? it's moot now, she can't be held legally responsible. I'm not trying to excuse this evil, heinous act. I'm just saying that I think it cannot be understood in any rational sense. which is kinda good.

I want to know if the note was hand written or not......and I want to know why if the door was unlocked why the husband did not go in the house if he was so concerned....he filed missing persons report....... something about the story just does not add up for me.....

Looks to me like Morbid placed all the blame squarely on the mother on this one, and the comments that have followed so far indicate that those who have commented feel pretty much the same way. Clearly you haven't read our site much. Look around. Check out Morgan Hite and Heaven Kristina Smith for two recent cases in which we lay the blame solely on the mother. You're right that women can and do kill - but I don't see that we hold them less responsible when they do.

Fucking makes me sick. This woman was obviously miserable. I wish she'd botched her own suicide and ended up living to see what she'd done to her babies. Actually, fuck that. I'm glad she's dead.
