The part of the press conference I heard on ABC News had the LEO stating that his wife had no idea where he was. She tried calling him but got no answer. It didn't sound like they thought she had a clue what he was planning or where he was planning to go. The LEO (sorry I didn't catch his name) said that her husband called her at 11:00am said he wasn't coming home, that the police were there, he loved her, and hung up.
I feel sorry for the perps kids, too. It's not their fault that their father did this. Their lives will probably be ruined also.
Well, the guy left multiple suicide notes, didn't he? I would've thought that warranted a call to the cops. I'm with that Cliff Van Zandt guy on MSNBC who doesn't think this guy just woke up this morning and turned into a homicidal maniac. Darn, if the perp's wife had even the slightest inkling something was horribly wrong, like multiple suicide notes maybe, she should've tried to get him some help.
Family members shouldn't stick their heads in the sand.
