Ugh. And on the heels of the mess in Santa Clara yesterday:Dad Kills Three Kids, Hangs Himself
Alabama father apparently upset over marital problems
The Santa Clara mess was all over this morning's Merc, starting with questions as to whether the father (who in that case killed his two sons) had jumped off an oceanside cliff - the police dog led them from the car to the top of the cliff, looked out over the water and (I like to imagine) told his human colleagues, "The rest is up to you, fellas."
In the Alabama case, divorce had been discussed. The wife came home, thought her children were sleeping but discovered something far worse when she doublechecked after finding him hanged. Police are pointedly refusing to discuss how the children were killed, though the story - and apparently the sheriff - doesn't make it clear if this is because it's children in question or because of the method of killing.
