Unfortunately, so many women daily live with the fear in the back of their mind that he could appear out of nowhere to kill or maime them. Its a horrid existance.

I feel sorry for her, but especially the kids, but darn it, some ex-wives are visious wolves capable of putting any man over the edge.
I'm not saying she was, but I've workd with women who's pastime is looking for ways to torturer their ex, using the kids as tools.
Divorce is a horrable war sometimes.
I'm female, but sometimes the guy is the nicest person you want to meet, but gets stabbed in the heart so many times, he just can't take it anymore, and has a total breakdown.
There's always two sides to a story.

Killing defenseless kids is definitely beyond the pale. I agree that there are two sides to these horrendous endings that stem from a brutal divorce. We can only hope that men and women in similiar circumstances (perhaps contemplating the unthinkable) will stop the pettiness, bickering, and pure hatred towards each other in order to save their children... mentally,physically and spiritually.

No, no, I knew Dr. McFadden, she was my friend and vet the four years I lived in Merced, many years ago. She was a wonderful friend, a devoted mother, and kind and empathic vet....my God. She certainly didnt drive this guy nuts...no..no..Pray for her, all of you. God, her suffering is unimaginable.

Hey, a vicious ex may be a reason to kill the ex, but it is no reason to kill four kids.

His selfish intent was to punish her and escape punishment for his actions. He's a sorry B****** that is burning in hell for eternity.
