I remember back in 1988 some Texas couple was out for the evening and when they came back, around sunset, they found police cars all over and the police wouldn't let them in the house. Apparently the teenage daughter's ex boyfriend had come over and stabbed them all to death (I think four kids, one of which was very very young -toddler age). They showed the reaction of the father. It was NOTHING like this Van Dam's reaction. He was SCREAMING "THEY ARE ALL DEAD?!??! WHAT??!! OH MY GOD?!?!?" And the police could hardly hold him back. His wife just kind of crumpled to the ground. That is an authentic reaction. I was instantly in tears and just wailed for about 20 minutes at the sight.

Did you see the reaction of these parents (the van dams) when they found out? I guess I must have missed it.. When and if the husband quiets his wife it's probably a good thing. I heard her repeatedly say that they didn't want to say anything to hurt the investigation.

Wow, a parents worst nightmare. My wife would stop breathing and die. I'd probably kill the nearest person to me hoping to be shot dead.

That's an awful story, how sad. The parents' tragic loss....God, I can't imagine what they felt and went through (and still do).
