Interesting that the murderer claimed the victim “sent him to jail,” and seems to be threatening the rest of the family too. No update to the story seems to provide any additional info. I mean, the perp’s identity is a huge development, but explains nothing. Did she know him? Was this stay at home mom responsible for sending the guy to jail in the past, as he claimed? Was she meeting HIM at the bar? Interesting to see how this plays out. Poor family though…
