He should have made it a Murder/Suicide and saved us all the trouble if he was going to kill his own daughter!

He was a farmer. He had a wife and three other children to care for.

What trouble is he causing you?

FWIW, his daughter Tracy was severely disabled, had no voluntary control of her muscles, wore diapers, could not walk or talk, and lived in constant pain.

Like other health issues of this magnitude, I am sure they dealt with constant secondary issues. Like urinary tract infections from diapers...skin infections. Her hands, legs, arms - contractures. So painful.

She had multiple surgeries in her short life.

It is difficult to not feel compassion for her parents.
