So she picked up the dog lead at 9:30am, obviously came home, then at around 11:30am she searched carbon monoxide, then about 4 hours later Connor came home from school.

Wonder why she searched carbon monoxide after picking up the dog lead.
Has a vehicle been mentioned? If so, I wonder where it was. Was there a garage?
 
***In their application for one of the search warrants, police said they were seeking a husky pit bull mix, weighing approximately 50 pounds, that the mother told them used to be tied outside the home with a plastic-coated wire.

"By determining the dogs (sic) actual weight and sized (sic) utilizing a scale will assist in the criminal investigation," Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Ian Keck said in the warrant application. "All of this is important to the criminal investigation and reconstruction of the events surrounding this incident."

The dog, however, had been given away, Keck said.
Court papers shed light on probe of Berks siblings' deaths


***According to court records, in the weeks leading up to the children’s deaths, Snyder sent at least three sexually explicit photos of herself engaged in sexual acts with a black and white dog to an unnamed person. Adams said that the discovery of the dog abuse was something investigators uncovered during the homicide investigation that warranted additional criminal charges.

An Oct, 2 search warrant specifically mentioned a black husky-pit bull mix weighing 50 pounds. Adams said Snyder “sent the dog away,” but it has since been located.

***Court documents indicate that investigators found evidence, including photos with a black and white dog, in some of Snyder’s emails that led to charges of animal cruelty and sexual intercourse with a dog.

Police began searching for the family dog shortly after the children’s death. Adams confirmed on Monday that law enforcement did eventually locate the dog alive.

It's all confusing. Did first responders see a dog??
 
Why is she charged with first degree murder for victim 1, but 3rd degree for victim 2?
I’m sure @gitana1 is able to speak to this question - please.
This is what the internet shows:
§ 2502. Murder.
(a) Murder of the first degree.--
A criminal homicide constitutes murder of the first degree when it is committed by an intentional killing.
(b) Murder of the second degree.--A criminal homicide constitutes murder of the second degree when it is committed while defendant was engaged as a principal or an accomplice in the perpetration of a felony.
(c) Murder of the third degree.--All other kinds of murder shall be murder of the third degree. Murder of the third degree is a felony of the first degree.
Title 18
 
Has a vehicle been mentioned? If so, I wonder where it was. Was there a garage?

Sept 17 at 11:14 - Text, "Oh Daddy ... just took good pics for you..."

Sept 22 - placed order for dog lead online at Walmart

the question regarding the car came from an internet search she made - there is a presumption that she had a vehicle since she searched for hybrid car produce carbon monoxide on Sept 23

I keep thinking about him too. I can’t imagine all he’s going through mentally; losing his siblings, feelings towards his mother, wishing he’d have been home to save them, wondering why he was spared... heartbreak!!
Yeah, and the whole time she sat back,and let people speculate that the older son was a suspect. She said zero in his defence,but the stuff stuff posted on FB herself. The 'Highschool Friend' singing her praises as the perfect mother, her saying all the stories about her being just rumors. No wonder investigators hadn't verified that the dog was safe with whoever said they have the dog now. Her fake memorial page for the Babes, acting as the grieving mother. I knew this was coming,but the dog acts Sweet Jesus. Makes me wonder if she forced Conner,and Brinley to do unnatural things with the dog too. I can't put that past her at this point.
As for so called child protective services, judges,etc that helped make this possible. They can go to HELL.
MOO

I believe these are all descriptions of the same dog. There was a picture posted upthread (source?) that showed a black pitbull mix with a bit of a white bib.

Has the 911 call been published? Sometimes the caller will be asked if there is a dog present, and if so, to please confine the dog before the responders get there.

These early vids show a white vehicle in their garage. Hubby says it looks like a four door but that’s about all he could tell from the tail end.
 
From the messages she sent that we’ve seen in the affidavit it sounds like she was wanting whoever she sent those disgusting pictures to, to come over to her house and view the live show (spew)
Then she’s worrying she can’t get a baby sitter, it seems like cogs started turning then as shortly after this she’s searching for ways to kill her kids. She was probably going to set it up to look like Connor killed himself and his sister by carbon monoxide poisoning in the car, until she searched it up and realised there’s no way LE would buy that an 8 year old could set that up. So she started searching hanging and probably told the kids she had a surprise for them after school. Up on the chairs, possibly blindfolded this disgusting specimen kicked those chairs and hung her kids like some crude executioner.
I have a sick feeling that there may be even more to be revealed, time will tell.
Moo
 
I am assuming they weren't all connected to a phone number, but some were used only where WiFi was present.....but that's just my assumption. Still, I only use one :). There are a couple of dead ones lying around the house here, though, so I suppose I could charge them up and use the WiFi if I had to.

A cell phone without service will still by law call 911, which is why many people without landlines keep them around the house after upgrading.

However, considering we've already determined that she used multiple phones for her nefarious doings, I'm not sure if it matters too much "how she utilized three" versus "how she utilized five"; so probably just useful as background info.

The affidavit describes the chairs as “two wooden bar height dining room chairs”. Images of bar stools - how tall is bar height? Would they need to climb on something to climb on top of chair and stand? Without it wobbling and kids keeping their balance? This type of hanging - how does the equilibrium come into play with the difference in kid’s weight? I’m not seeing it. I’m glad this time. Does one need to hang first to set the other in motion? Where are our Physics majors? I’m starting to get a headache.
 
I’m scratching my brain trying to figure out what the weight and size of the dog has to do with reconstruction of events. The second article states the weight of 50 pounds - that has still not been found.


“By determining the dogs (sic) actual weight and sized (sic) utilizing a scale will assist in the criminal investigation,” Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Ian Keck wrote in the warrant, according to 69 Newes. “All of this is important to the criminal investigation and reconstruction of the events surrounding this incident.”
UPDATE: Family dog ‘given away’ after 2 children die with dog cable around their necks [Police]


One warrant, on Oct. 2, was specifically for a dog — a black husky-pit bull mix weighing 50 pounds — that still has not been found. Investigators said weighing the dog would help in reconstructing what happened but they would not say why.

these are trendy "kitchen" dining sets where the chairs to the table are set higher - which would mean the children would be closer to the beam than when using a regular height dining chair

I"m remembering the leash was Super sized for a big big dog - not the smaller dog they have (but strong enough to hold both children...)

Why does affidavit read as killer psycho mom omits/avoids speaking of Victim 1 daughter? Brinley is briefly mentioned when mom speaks of trying to lift her. That single ‘one-on-one’ interaction with seeing and touching Brinley is when her “anxiety spikes”. She starts to sweat profusely and can’t get the latch off. Imo, this is probably one of the few true portions of her statement. Did reality and panic hit her like a lightening bolt when she cowardly crept downstairs? Or is she too cold and black hearted for even the most basic human emotion of fear? Of love and emotional pain? When she saw her daughter ~ Brinley?

I think the evil custodian presented the hanging to the children as a game. Reportedly, LS never went to the basement with first responders. I also don't believe she ever touched them or tried to lift them. Nope, once the kids were dangling-- the monster was out of there.
