What happened to this California family?

Seems it was the mom given she was the one found away from the others. She was studying to be a marriage counselor and likely unable to follow her own studies or got so twisted by what she was studying and her issues with her marriage.

Moms are basically never family annihilators though, right?

Right. Except for when they are.

There were no marks on the bodies and no wounds. They'd just bought a new AirBnB property as well.

So exactly how would you suggest this murder-suicide happened?

I mean, it’s Occam’s Razor. Toxicology reports will shown the husband poisoned the wife with something in the water, then the baby, dog, and himself.

This seems quite obvious to me. You don't bring a baby on a hike in that heat unless you are planning such an outcome.

I'm suspicious. Would anyone hear cries for help?

and why was wife not in car with husband, baby, dog. why found up the hill?

If she was trying to get help, why not drive?

This one is frankly terrifying. I doubt she was going to get help- why leave the baby behind?

They were all found 1.5 miles from the car.

If a parent had done it investigators would have found a toxic substance near/on them though.

The drank the water in the lake and something in the water killed them. That's the only explanation for why the dog died too.

What a weird comment about her occupation/studies. Not very likely. But, It makes more sense that it was the mom that was poisoned - feeling strange and trying to run and get help. Meanwhile, the dad knew what was happening and calmly feed the baby and dog the water and sat and waited for death to come. I didn’t think of this originally and thought the case was mysterious. But the PP who suggested murder-suicide is most likely right. The police purposely mentioned toxicology reports and the delay, that means tests on the bodies and in the canteen. I think it makes perfect sense to go hiking somewhere beautiful for your last moments…so, so sad.

No the dad poisoned the canteen water.

Nothing works that fast. No poison.

Carbon monoxide is the best explanation. And the scariest.

Along the lines of a PP's remarks, then where is the canteen with the poisoned water? You don't think this would have been the first line of inquiry?
