IL - Andrew Hintt, 31 and sons, 5 and 7, triple homicide, Belvidere, 19 Dec 2021

[Warwick1991]

A 31 year-old man, Andrew Hintt and his 2 sons, ages 5 and 7, were found shot to death in their Belvidere, Il home. The boys’ mother called the landlord, who then called police, after she didn’t hear from the father on Sunday. The weapon used was not in the house, although there were casings at the scene.

How horrific! Seems unlikely to be a completely random crime, wonder what the motive was, besides theft?

Right now, very little is known. The motive is unknown.

I hope someone knows something and will come forward.

Nothing justifies murder, especially murders of 2 innocent children.

For the Jeep to be missing says that it could have been random or semi-random by which I mean the perpetrator might have been looking for someone to rob and knew of Andrew, that he would be an easy target. Maybe they didn't expect him and his kids to recognize them or maybe they just wanted a good head start with the vehicle. I wonder if it will be found soon. A lot of times when they switch they don't hide the first car.

Given the 6lbs of marijuana in the above article, I'm going with drug debt or crossed the wrong person in the drug world as motive. Not that anything would ever justify murdering those boys.

that link is 5 years old, but its always possible that later this was an issue. very sad.

Maybe the move to California was to get away from past issues.
His fiancée and other 3 children (all under the age of 3!) were in California.
Wonder if they were staying with relatives and why Andrew wasn’t already out there with them. Maybe getting the house ready to sell? Or perhaps his fiancé had already found a job out there.
Just horrible
