Oh my word. How horrifying for the 2 surviving sisters. As for the oldest, despite the trauma of the event, I hope she realizes how truly amazing she is.

"I'm not a mental health expert. It's not my job to determine if someone has a mental health problem," the sheriff said.

Brun had no arrest record in South Carolina and authorities had been called to the house once about two years ago after a school employee was concerned about the mental health of one of the children, Tanner said.

"There is a lot more information that we have and a lot more details that we know but at this point we can't share," Tanner said.
