    The link has nothing but ramblings of a very sick person. I had not followed this case before but after reading some of the blog posts, I have to wonder how the police couldn't get this guy to contradict himself several hundred times??

    The de facto allegations that she ran away with some guy from St. George are just nuts.
    That site is just bizzare. The weird pages trying to connect her to some the St. George guy who it seems she never met are so desparate. How could he think that would convince anyone? Maybe his dad wrote everything.

    In spite of how horrific the ending of this story is, I have been largely numb...mostly because this is how I expected it to end so I wasn't surprised. But the hatchet thing put me over the edge. I'm literally sick to my stomach right now. What a monster.

      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Yeah, nothing proves to CPS that you're a good parent like murdering your kids. This whole thing is disgusting.

              Wow, just wow. Hindsight is 20/20, but that he was allowed to have supervised visits in his own home in an environment he could control turned out to be a really bad decision.

                  What is wrong with that family? They need to shut the hell up already.

                  We're all feeling sick right now, imagine how that case worker must be feeling.

                    My brother is a forensic psychiatrist, I should talk to him about this. I can't imagine why this guy used a hatchet on his kids when he was just going to light the house on fire. The weapon and the way the weapon is used tells a lot about the murderer and his motives/state of mind. To me, using a hatchet signifies utter rage and hatred.

                      I'm wondering whether he used the hatchet to ensure that the kids wouldn't run out once the fire started.

                        I rarely think of people as being evil. Mentally deranged? Ill? Yes. However, this pure evil.

                          I can only hope that he was effective enough with the blows to kill them instantly. I need a silver lining here, no matter how wispy-thin it is. The thought of them being alive with terrible hatchet wounds and conscious while burning to death is more than I can countenance.

                            Yeah, until you think of one brother watching his other brother die that way. My cynicism has pretty much caused me to be beyond feeling any human emotion at this point of my life, but this story is just too much for even me.
