Aren't calling it a homicide at this time. (per 5NEWS KFSM).

 

[MsFacetious]

IF it is true that Brooke told them where to look Friday and they didn't look there until today... (Team Harper)
I certainly hope something is done about that. :twocents:

We don't know what happened yet... but if it was a murder suicide...
Maybe Brooke knew where her husband would go?
And maybe they could have gotten there in time to save Harper if they'd listened.

So I will be anxiously waiting to see how they died and if it could have been prevented. :twocents:

So sad. Rest in peace.

Harper found at 1:30, Brian an hour later not too far from where the pickup truck was found.

They will be back at 6:00 with more.

So, is this a murder-suicide, or double homicide? I don't have enough information to lean either way.

my heart is so heavy right now. Prayers to the family.

Or even just a succumbed to the elements... with the heat that is possible too.

Not much reason to kill a baby, they can't witness anything.
It's possible Brian was killed and Harper succumbed to the elements.
So we may be looking at 2 different manners of death for them. :twocents:

 

[forthelost]

I've just had a feeling this was more than getting lost after they found the truck.

 

[MsFacetious]

I agree.
Right now my thought is that Brooke and Brian got into a fight and this was a murder suicide.

With the mental issues Brian is alleged to have had, it's very possible.
It's also possible that Brooke knew where Brian would go and told them that.
However if they were treating her like a suspect they may not believe her.
Then she may have told them again... and that's when they found the truck.

However, I'm thinking if it was a murder suicide they would be together.
The hour between them being found makes me think that isn't as likely.
That actually sounds more like Harper crawled away... or both were murdered.

But when someone is hallucinating you just never know what they are thinking.
So "typical" body arrangement or crime scene area may not be present there.
Just another reason this case is very convoluted and not much would surprise me. :twocents:

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

I doubt Harper crawled an hour away though?

We don't know under what conditions Harper was found.
