Shouldn't there have been more investigation into the father who was the 'main suspect' in this case?

Question

After the mother's death, the husband and father of two children, kept after the courts to give him custody of them. He was awarded supervised visits. The man who was father to two young children, killed their mother while they were all together on a camping trip. They remembered what the father had done and when they got older, they told people what they had witnessed. They stated, "Mom was there with us, then she was in the trunk, and after that she disappeared." After the social worker came with the children, the father closed the door in her face instead of letting her accompany them for their visit. The social worker said she smelled the prevailing smell of 'gas.' Then the house exploded, which resulted in the murder of the two children and himself.

I imagine that the social worker was there to investigate, and would be willing to bet money that until the children said something, that there was no evidence substantial enough to go any further with the father. This is a tragedy, but the only thing that could have been done differently occurred after the children reported this. Even then, he sounds functional enough to have tried to kill all of them without detection. It is exceptionally hard to take a child from a parent, even a parent with only supervised visitation. If you wish to change this, please send a letter to your state and federal congress members. It is the law itself that has to be changed here, not the investigation. Sadly, I see this happen a lot and the hands of the government are tied.
