She was found only 30 yards from the rest of the family so she didn’t make it very far. Is cyanide that quick acting?

At least according to Wikipedia it is:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_poisoning

Cyanide has a bitter taste that can’t easily be hidden. How did he get the dog to drink the water? Dogs will turn their nose at poisonous foods.

A dog in 110 degree heat is not going to be discriminating when offered water.

Agree that we have no way of knowing if there was vomit on the ground.
Also, the "poison" could have been some sort of sedative which would effectively kill them in that weather. You could take a Benadryl out there and probably end up dead (get a bit sluggish/tired, sit down, and that is the end).

(I know this because it was all on video. He did it in court after hearing a guilty verdict against him.) My point is that there are fast-acting poisons that don’t leave outward, visible signs. I’m sure it would show up on the toxicology report.

Did the video examine the body after he died? There was no cherry red discoloration on the skin anywhere on the body?

We really do not know what the police found. Somehow the whole family in a remote area with no cell signal on the hottest day of the year all died together … seems suspicious to me.

Why would you bother poisoning the dog?

The same reason you would bother killing the baby. You want everyone to go together. The dog is part of the clan/family.

I mean why not kill the dog? You just killed your wife and baby, that’s small beer.

Really hope it’s not that. Heat stroke or some global warming weather event

Family annihilators kill during the month of August!!

"It was important to make the research about male family annihilators available this month, says Wilson, as men are most likely to commit these acts during August, with 20 percent of cases occurring within this period."

That's pretty wild. I bet it's the heat that drive people crazy.

I'm definitely more cranky during the hot summer months.

I'd still like for it to be an accident, but coming around to family annihilation. If so, most likely the dad did it; one thing that is out of place is that men usually use more violent means than poison.

And some people travel to Florida in the summer. Seems equally nutso.

People, yes but it takes a boatload of Benadryl to affect a dog. My 90-pound dog was prescribed eight per day for months and wasn’t appreciably lazier than usual.

Dad could have brought a separate poison for the dog.
