Baum said the family was Muslim but celebrated Christmas as a cultural holiday. The parents were originally from Iran.

Thackney,
That may be the case. I too am confused. I live in a suburb bordering Grapevine and I have friends who have gone to the Spa where the mom worked and used to chit chat to her while waiting. They told me that she was an Iranian Catholic (a rare breed)
But now this guy says they were Muslim. I guess we will all find out.
But in the end, the dad did not like that his life spiralled out of control. The bankruptcy and the impending divorce and allegedly the daughter’s stalker boyfriend all pulled him over the edge.
He will burn in hell for sure. His family is with God surrounded by Love and Eternal Peace
I will say that I am friends with a Muslim from Pakistan and they do celebrate Christmas as well. In honor of the “Imam Jesus.” Not agreeing with him, just know what some do.
