So likely simultaneous natural causes. What are the odds for that. [/quote]

What is wrong with you? It was obviously murder/suicide.

I feel so bad for the mom. She tried to get away…it must’ve been awful for her.

I feel like people leaping to this silly and again, the dog is a complicating factor, but whatever.

But pp, despite you feeling for mom, if this was family annihilating by poison it is actually much more likely mom was the perpetrator statistically[/quote]

I’m basing my opinion on the disclosed evidence, which clearly points to the dad being the killer. The dog would be killed because he was part of the family. I don’t understand why you don’t get that.

Are you thinking that he poisoned the water on the trail?  That's an unusual theory.  [/quote]

No.

I think he had cyanide (or another fast-acting poison) in the canteen before they left for the hike. When it was time, he gave it to (or forced it on) the mom first. She runs off in agony and dies. He then feeds it to the dog, the baby, and himself…placing everyone seated next to each other.

It’s pretty twisted, really.

There is literally zero solid evidence pointing to dad. You sound like someone who watches a lot of crime drama. I’m not saying it’s impossible that this wasn’t family annihilating or that it wasn’t dad, but there is absolutely no grounds for you to be saying this with such conviction with the evidence given. A grown man forcing cyanide down healthy mom’s throat with a baby on his back? Please. Also they found nothing of interest in the house or car.

If he used cyanide there would be physical signs and there would have been electronic evidence as he would have ordered it off the Internet. Can’t buy that at the grocery store. And he wouldn’t care about covering it up.

And again, statistically when family annihilation occurs by poison and with very young children, mom is the culprit[/quote]
