Arrested SEVEN times before for abuse and he STILL has the children??? He killed 4 of his children over a period of SEVERAL months and No-one wondered what was happening??? Family? Friends? Child Welfare? No one smelled anything coming from the garage?? How can he say he didn't hurt them??? He said he beat on them and starved them!!! HTF is that not hurting them??? Can you imagine what each child went through, wondered, and feared after knowing that one sibling after another was killed by him?? If you can't handle children, DON'T HAVE THEM!! They didn't ask to be born. Don't punish them for YOUR choices.
his wife's death needs to be investigated.
Yea…..I wouldn’t be surprised if he had something to do with the passing of his wife
He killed the 6 yr. old first. Can you imagine how terrified the others were after that? Wow.
The eyes don’t lie. He looks totally gone
Why not call CPS & just say you can't handle it no more.
My heart breaks for the surviving child! I hope that the surviving child receives mental health support.
They probably all knew what was happening to each other and scared who was next. What a nightmare
As a dispatcher, let him keep talking, you have his location, stop over talking him, emergency responders need to know as much as possible
