after agreeing to an apparent mother-son suicide pact.
Tulsa cops say they may never understand what exactly drove Joseph Crabtree, 17, to shoot his mother Kimberly Crabtree, 50, then turn the gun on himself inside their picturesque suburban home. But after studying a suicide note left in the house, detectives say the pair appeared to be in agreement

“But that was in their pact. They were both going to die, and she mostly advanced the ball on that and did things that would make that happen.”

believes the deaths will ultimately be listed as a murder-suicide, even though evidence showed that Kimberly was in on the deal.
It was a relative who called cops to the Crabtree’s house

after unsuccessfully trying to enter the family’s home. Cops barged in and found the bodies.
Kimberly’s deteriorating state of mind led cops to respond to at least three mental health-related calls at their house. Still, the mother managed to purchase the gun used in the shootings just a few hours before her death.

After that conversation, Joseph didn’t answer her calls. His mom Kimberly reportedly flew to Florida on Saturday to bring him back from the vacation.

Neighbor Brigid Kelley said that Kimberly and Joseph are survived by two younger children — 8-year-old fraternal twins who had been staying on the East Coast.

Before going to boarding school, Joseph had attended Cascia Hall Preparatory School and Bishop Kelley High School.
His former classmates at Cascia Hall gathered together in the school’s chapel to honor Joseph’s memory.
“This was very tragic,” said Bishop Kelley’s school president Rev. Brian O’Brien said. “We tried to do our best to provide comfort to those who were affected.”
