"After verification, we've confirmed their identities. They're the parents of the deceased from the second floor," the chief said as he spoke, handing Evan Keller a file with the information he had gathered on the Ford family. Evan took it and flipped it open. It contained a detailed record of the Ford family's situation.
Meanwhile, Lynn Grant and Sean Hughes followed an officer from the local station to go examine the three bodies.
Miss Ford's parents had come from a blended family. Each had a child with their previous spouse, and life was supposed to have continued on, quiet and happy.
But then, while still married to their respective partners, Miss Ford's parents fell for each other. They insisted on being together, no matter the cost, and even resorted to all sorts of threats.
This included, but was not limited to, hunger strikes, threatening to jump off buildings, and other acts of self-harm, which placed a severe psychological burden on their young children.
