This is such a strange crime! My first thought was postpartum depression with psychosis and the nanny in NYC that slit the toddlers' throats and then her own (but lived). I could see a mom in the midst of MI doing this to her baby and then herself. I have a harder time seeing her husband do it and an even harder time seeing a stranger do it. After years on this site I've read about seemingly great moms doing some horrific things to their children thanks to postpartum issues. I'm not ruling it out yet. I'm not sold on the theory either.
I can't blame the husband for needing family support after just losing his wife and child. It's likely the police were coming at him pretty hard and after losing so much it's not unreasonable that he would want comfort after initial questioning. Perhaps he couldn't afford staying in a hotel and didn't want to or couldn't stay in the house. Lots of not nefarious reasons to go back home IMO.
