Husband confessed to killing pregnant wife and their two daughters.

I bet he killed her because she told him the third kid wasn't his, and that she was leaving him for her AP, the father of #3.

No one is trashing her. Let's not sugar coat NLM. If they'd already declared bankruptcy then working for a pyramid scheme was stupid. People who work for these Ponzi schemes are niave at the very least. Doesn't mean she deserved to die. She's still the victim. Her kids are the victims.

Way to prove a point!

Really? He killed her and their two kids! He is a evil. I hope they kill him in jail.

So you think he convinced her to have a third baby and she agreed, but got pregnant by someone else. Then passed it off as his for three months before deciding to leave him for the biodad.

Yes, that makes more sense than him just being a horrible person who also killed his kids.

Why not just walk out the door and never come back? I’d rather he done that than kill them. So sad all around.

I was very creeped out by her FB post that seemed to indicate he talked her into baby #3. If he was that stressed by their finances, why add to it?

Where is a link to her facebook page?

I don't know. One article I read mentioned that her neighbor/friend (who is actually the wife of the couple who let him stay with them after his wife & daughters went missing; they've now spoken out to apologize for defending him) said that she (Shannan, that is) had confided last week that she suspected her husband of infidelity. But has then elaborated something like "but he has no game so I don't know..."

Another theory I wonder about is that maybe he snapped and did something to one or both of the girls while she was away on her trip and he was (presumably) watching them. After killing one kid, there's not much you can do to "go back"...

Re people hating on her for being part of a MLM, stop. This is no time to victim shame. However, I do think it's potentially pertinent in that some articles seem to be latching onto the fact that they had filed for bankruptcy several years ago, but that the family's financial state "seems to have taken a turn" lately based on all the traveling the family had done, often paid for fully by Shannan's company. Anyone who knows anything about MLMs knows that is utter bullshit. It's also relevant in that (to me) it essentially means everything in her social media posts should be taken with a grain of salt, because she was likely especially prone i playing up and exaggerating the positives

The timeline doesn't add up. I think he killed those poor kids before she got home at 2 am.

He would have been racing against the clock to kill 3 people, bury them, and clean up from 2 am-5 am (if he did indeed leave at 5 am and there's evidence to support this).

This article seems to support this as well because it says the bodies weren't all buried together or in the same location.

No, I think she was having an affair and got pregnant, told the husband it was his for a while, and then dropped the "its not yours" bomb on him recently.

Because then you don't get to play the poor, pitiful, widower card and collect on the GoFundMe money.

Many men have an insane sense of possession - if things don't go their way, others don't get their freedom.

It’s being accurate. People don’t become saints or heroes because they are cruelly murdered.

Not at all shocked that this stems from financial pressure - among other things. When they filed for BK they were making a combined 90k -- with her bringing in 30k of that working as a call center/admin employee for a hospital. And despite that -- they had like $10 in savings and another $800 in checking. So now with this MLM job - you know HHI went lower. Yet they seemed to enjoy spending -- cars, vacations etc. There had to be constant fighting over financial stress. As for why go for a 3rd child? They had 2 girls -- bet you DH wanted a BOY. Add a new child to financial stress and some lack of trust bc of infidelity allegations -- situation just exploded as the DH just did not know how to keep the façade of the good life going.

Because he was the father of a bunch of toddies and a soon-to-be newborn. He also had no job and nowhere to go. Once he got the job that's twenty years of child support payments he knew he'd never get out from under.
