Yes, they were upthread in the link to the prison where they're held.
I always have sympathy for mothers (and fathers) who realize their adult child has committed murder. It's almost biologically impossible for them to turn them in, much less testify against them in court, and in many cases police don't really expect it from them. I'm not sure I recall any cases where it's happened, although sometimes they've persuaded their son/daughter to turn themselves in, or agreed to the decision by a brother to do it.
I have a son whom I love dearly and two grown grandsons. I also have great grandchildren. But if my son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons went door to door killing an entire family and I found out about it, I would run, not walk, to the police station. If they are capable of doing something like that I would want them off the street pronto. Because if left in the general public who else might they kill to get what they want or because they got angry over some imagined slight. I would consider it my duty as a mother to make sure my son and grandsons did not harm anyone else.
So in my opinion Fredricka and Rita should have told what they knew rather than putting anyone else at risk from her demented son, DIL and grandsons. I hope they give them both the max.

Also in my opinion this may not have been their first rodeo. It's hard to believe a first time killer would have had the nerve to go to multiple sites killing everyone they saw. I have a feeling that one of the four was experienced or at least was involved in some way in another murder. You just don't slaughter people up close and personal your first time out. Keep in mind these victim were shot at close range. That means the killers were virtually looking into their eyes as they killed them.
