I figured it had to be the son. He didn't want to have to deal with the animals so he killed them too. A stranger wouldn't have noticed or cared.

probably hated the animals as well as his mom. I haven't been able to tell from the articles so far but wondering if he was a failure to launch type and lived there with her.
