Bryan I am with ;you No one really has any idea why this happen…
You have no idea how true that is.
A terrible tragedy. It seems the Milstids have had more than their fair share of problems, down through the decades.
I feel so sorry for the family members that are suffering from this ordeal.
I thank god that I was able to get out of my Domestic violence situation without ending up dead. Alot of Women and Men don’t sad to say.

Mental illness does need treatment, however, domestic violence has nothing to do with mental illness. The behavior of an abuser is a choice. Bless this woman. I cannot imagine the terror she has been through.
I have been concerned that there was spousal abuse happening to Ms. Linda. I just wish that the husband’s family and friends could have got Mr. Mark help, so this terrible crime would not have happened. Mental illness is a disease that requires treatment, just like drugs and alcohol.
Such a sad story as a victim from domestic violence in my past I can imagine the fear she felt. The feeling is so bad the knots in your stomach to the pounding of your heart. I just hate her life was taken because of this. What a tragedy my thoughts and prayers to the family and to their children if they had any. So sad…….
Praying for the officers dealing with this situation, as well as the families involved.
I can’t even begin to image the fear this lady felt when she saw him coming.. what a sad, sad story.
