Found their picture somewhere else. What kind of a monster would do something like that? It's just beyond awful.

Yah it didn't...will have to try again.
It's really bad in general but they weren't even his kids. It was the family of his ex's sister. Ugh, just awful!
Original OP: The family looks familar (tried to post a link but couldn't figure it out). I hope it isn't a Pea but either way, it sucks.

This happened in the neighborhood next to us. I have many friends in common with this family, as does my 14yo dd. It is just heartbreaking. We heard much of it go down and didn't realize what was happening. My oldest ds is a firefighter and his station got called to the scene. He was out of town and I was thankful he didn't have to see the aftermath. It is absolutely heartbreaking to hear everyone speak of their memories of the Stays.  |

Thanks Merge. I'm sorry for all of those that are living with this in their area or know the family. I just can't shake it off my mind. The fear those kids must've felt and the adults as well.  |

That is just horrific. I can't imagine the terror that family felt. Senseless.
That poor girl who survived. How does she even begin to continue her life?

She is going to need some serious counseling if that will even help. She had to witness her entire family wiped out! She then had the presence of mind to call 911 to save her grandparents. Wow! I am just heart broken over this.

I do not know how the poor 15 yr. old will go on. She lost her entire family. That is so sad!

We have a connection to them also, and my heart is just aching for her loss. I can't imagine being 15 and going from being in a family of 7 to an orphan, in ANY situation, much less one as tragic as this.

In addition to that poor girl, I can't imagine how the ex-wife feels, knowing that he killed her sister's family, perhaps as revenge. She must be agonizing over this. I feel so badly for everyone affected by this.

Horrible! That sick, evil monster! I feel an unspeakable rage toward him, and hope justice is mighty and swift!
My my heart hurts so much for that poor family. How terrified they must have been. And the daughter that survived...that poor girl! I can't imagine the grief and trauma.

I cannot believe the young girl had the wisdom to play dead while her family was being massacred around her. I'm so relieved he wasn't able to make it to the grandparents house. It has been on the news a lot here since the parents were from around this area. I had to change the news channel, the story was making me too sad.

How horrible! I really wish I knew what goes wrong in a person to make them do something like this. It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, obviously it is mental illness, but what is causing it? And why does it appear to be on the upswing? It is just so...well, evil. There really isn't another way to describe it. |

This is just heartbreaking. That poor family, especially the gal who survived. How do you even pick up the pieces after something like that. Texas justice is usually strong and swift. I hope that will be the case here.

This is horrible. I wish they would have shot him in the F'in head!
A friend of mine was shot execution style back in the mid 90's here.
We had lost touch but my cousin used to date his brother and the family was distraught.

I can't even fathom...God God. bless their family and their souls. That poor family used to live a few miles from us prior to their Texas move. My church has began collecting for the family. Tragic. Tragic. |

It seems like over and over on the news lately we hear of men and women killing family members including their own kids. It's all so sad. Was there more info in the original post? It seems to be missing. Did he find his ex-wife too? |

So, so tragic. The 15 year old is a hero for keeping her wits about her to play dead, then save the grandparents with her call. I just had an email from Origami Owl. The mother was a designer for OO.
is it just me, or does it seem to you that we've been on a long streak of bad things happening? It seems like every day there is something.

Sorry to have deleted the OP. I was trying to link and it didn't work but Merge was nice enough to do it for me.
The original OP was just saying that I thought the picture looked familiar and I was hoping it wasn't a Pea but it was heartbreaking regardless of who it is.
I read that the ex-wife was out of state at the time but not sure if that is accurate or not. May those lost rest in peace.

It is really horrifying, and also a horrible and tragic demonstration of the fact that often women are most in danger when they leave their abusers. Honestly I cannot wrap my head around this guy's mentality,

I know that it seems like someone couldn't possibly do something so awful without being mentally ill, but I don't think that's always the case. Pure evil exists. |
