I smell a hint of foul play... there's always a reason. You just don't buy that kinda house and intend to blow away your family in just 5 years.. District Attorney? Found near the phone and close to the entrance door??! odd.. very odd.

unless you do something wrong or find you can't afford your lifestyle anymore. not to say i think the guy DID do it i just have seen shows on tv simliar to this where the guy has killed the whole family because of something else that was about to come out to the public or cuz their lives were about to fall apart because of money issues or some other scandalous reason.

Well, since he was a D.A. I think they'll end up saying what it all came down to. That is a stressful job but just how they had it written in that article.. it doesn't all click. If he killed all his family off already, why would he be near a phone? Especially if he was planning on killing himself off. And if on the 911 call they heard the phone hit the wall why did it in the first place?.. and why was he near the entrance way?? All those shots and no one woke up?!! I just think he pissed off or screwed over the wrong person.

But I see what you're sayin Dyno, I would just rather hope that if a person got in that situation, yea you would have to lose everything, but starting over isn't really the end of the world.. It's what you make of it. And to kill off your family because of that is just a disgusting thing to do.

Yeah, as of what it looks like now it has the appearance of an act of revenge from someone he pissed off. If he was killing himself it just doesn't add up that 911 was called.

regardless, the overall scenario is pretty damn sad.

I hope someone finds an updated news article for info about this case soon.

Sounds to me like he called 911 so they would be found quickly & not be hideously decomposed or eaten by coyotes. Maybe he felt like it was the last thing he could do for them. A bit unusual for a man to think that way, but it does happen. Unfortunately the "depressed or financially pressured man kills family and self" scenario is all too common.
