I can't imagine who would do something like that. I thought it was odd, too, that they said it happened between 7-8 p.m. It's barely dark; I'm sure the older children were still awake...awful...

Very sad news! It is now on national news circuits. I really hope they find these murderers and get them in court asap.

Anyone heard what will happen to these children? Some are special needs and I'd hate to see them separated, but most likely the 16 will be split up and that breaks my heart.

My family is on a big spread of land and have cameras on their property. Have considered beefing up my security system as well. I would guess they had it more for protection of their children (i.e. if one wandered off kinda' thing).

The sheriff, said the story as to what happened is going to be a humdinger of a tale,

Whatever the heck that meant, he would not say, just that it was all very complicated and many people involved.

Watch the Today show Monday morning. Our friend's sister is the attorney representing the Billings family, and she will be discussing this sad case.
