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

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.

    He was always the prime suspect and why they allowed that psycho to even HAVE his children is beyond me! That's like giving a sex offender their kids to take care of! I hope he's burning in Hell right now!

    Yet another case of 'death by social worker.'

    The report I heard this morning raised a lot of questions in my mind.

    What happened to the mother? Why was the father suspected? If he was suspected of being involved in her disappearance (they didn't say she was murdered) why was he still allowed unsupervised visits with his children? Why, years later, did the social worker suddenly require the father to submit to further sexual psychotic testing or lose his visitation rights? When did the boys make this comment about "mom's in the trunk"? To whom did they make it? Why didn't the social worker get the police involved immediately at that point?

    There's just too many unanswered questions here, and far too many of them seem to point back to the social worker. It really sounded like she either knew more, or underestimated how the father might react, or maybe just didn't care.

    Yep, another case of good old fashion half arsed American investigations. You guys seem to have a **** load of this crap happen in your country because of police work being sloppy.
