"The suspect’s dog was recovered and turned over to the Humane Society for safe care," the CCSO said. "Blood samples taken from the scene have come back positive for belonging to a male, and another was not human blood. Further DNA and fingerprint analyses are still being conducted."

To me it looks, as if he is keeping the doorbell ringing (view his muscles), then bends down and back, most of the time looking in a certain direction (to his left side of the street) for possible witnesses. MOO
witnesses or people following him? I wonder if he was paranoid ...
 
To understand more about how and why this occurred in this manner, you'd have to research the subject of family annihilation. Also, though uncomfortable to discuss, the asphyxiation by plastic bag (with self-sedation) was often recommended by the right-to-die movement as a "painless" method. Anyone who remembers the Christmas Tree lady case might have read about that. I don't want to go into it too much, but it's possible he thought in his insanity that it was humane--which OF COURSE it's obviously not in any way if it's murder. However, in cases of family annihilation, the murderers often see their family members as personal possessions that are merely extensions of themselves.

that's what I was thinking ... that he thought he was saving the girls from whatever and actually thought ending their lives in that way was kind

I give my side view when I am in front of someone’s door cam. I don’t want to be seen looking straight in. This is because I know on my door cam if someone is looking straight in, they appear rather stalkish or rather weird looking etc. IMO
 
Reposting this for everyone..
Snipped for brevity

What are the classifications of filicide?

“The act of filicide has been researched and categorized into five primary characteristics. The characteristics were determined based on the parent’s motives. The characteristics of filicide are:

  1. Altruism filicide occurs when the parent is motivated to kill the child to relieve the child of actual or imagined suffering. This classification of filicide is often associated with the parent attempting or committing suicide.
  2. Acute psychosis filicide happens when a parent kills their child due to a severe mental health condition.
  3. Unwanted child filicide occurs when a parent kills their child because he/she no longer wants to be a parent.
  4. Accidental filicide commonly occurs when a parent kills their child by accident. This type of filicide may occur when a parent disciplines their child, and it goes too far.
  5. Spousal revenge filicide often happens when a parent kills the child to seek revenge against the other parent.”

“Paternal filicide. Fathers are less often considered as the perpetrators in filicide cases, and consequently, there is much less focus on them in the literature. However, they are responsible for a large portion of child murder and worthy of independent investigation.

Snipped
On average, the children were typically older than those killed by mothers. It is important to note that fathers are rarely responsible for neonaticides. It is difficult to delineate a common motive because, as with maternal filicide, the data for these studies originated from different locations. It was striking, however, that a few of the studies noted that the murder was based on the father's interpretation of the child's behavior (e.g., a father becomes jealous because the child prefers the mother).”

Which would apply to TD?


could be multiple? 1, 2, 3 and 5

interesting ... there's not many door cams here where I am so I never thought about it

Wow look at him and 3 pizza's around the time of his disappearance. Wonder who those were for? I hope they found leftover pizza and tested it.
anyone know what pizza place that would be? or if its near where the girls lived? To see if its even a possibility.

Likely him, his daughters and the dog. I just know that I can only eat 1 slice. Little girls are smaller than I am but may have bigger appetites. Either way, I don't think they could eat 1 large pizza between the 3 of them. I'm sure parents of young girls will be quick to correct me and I welcome that as I have no children. :)

I'll bet he could eat an entire large. So maybe the rest went to feed the dog? Although 3 larges for 3 little girls, a dog and a man seem like a lot to me. But I could be very wrong about that (I'm not a pizza eater expert). But, the one thing I do think is that it wasn't for anyone other than those I named (him, kids and dogs).

They could have each liked different kinds and that night they got what they liked? more inclined to eat it.
Ill wait to hear if they had pizza before I speculate more, did the autopsy come out? with tox?

I just think thats how much it took to fed them all.
I had 3 girls aged about the same living with me ,an when their dad got pizza it was always 3 pizza's. It always got ate by the next day.

Edited because it read like something different.
My husband an I took in a foster family .Sometimes we had the kids ,sometimes we had the kids and the dad , sometimes the kids and the mom ,sometimes the mom dad and the kids. Sometimes just the dad.

I believe the dog was originally part of the family. I’m no expert on dogs - but I’ve heard of them protecting children from abusers. Is that not really a “thing”?
This is totally a thing. My beloved dog who shares my bedroom with me, sits beside me all day, and follows me around the house is super protective of my teenager.

I wonder if there were pizza boxes left behind. otherwise the pzza place would have had to recognize him and call in a tip. But pizza boxes would make L/E go look for video/cctv or they could have checked his banking records I suppose.
