Hello, I would like to leave my thoughts on this matter. I knew this family pretty well after living in #222 for several years. I moved 6 months ago but had lots of time there at Sonterra apt. I would have never thought this could happen to this family. They seemed so very happy when ever I saw them. The Mother was very protective of her son. The boy was always with his father and seemed happy as could be. The boy is my real concern as he was very attached to the both of them. I just can’t figure out why this happened. It sickens me to think he killed his wife while the son was in the home. This will affect his every walk of life from here on out. What a smart boy I might add. I just hope he was able to go with his Grandparents and not the State. As for the father I can’t understand why he would have done this and hope that the media keeps us posted as to why this happened.
