So sad ! The husband finds his wife dead, and his son did it? How tragic for a hard working family! And, it’s not that the old neighborhood has gone bad, it’s just there are 150K more people here. Hardworking parents often find that their suburban kids aren’t well adjusted. Often it’s suicide, this time it’s matricide.
