Craig Vandewege called 911 at 9:30 p.m. on December 15th to report that he'd found his wife and 3-month-old dead in bed when he arrived home from work.
The deaths were both ruled homicides by the Medical Examiner (throats slashed).
Shanna's dad told reporters that she was so happy to have Diederik in August after suffering three miscarriages. He said that Craig Vandewege moved to Forth Worth first, earlier this year (unspecified date) to find a good home for his wife and unborn baby and Shanna joined him sometime later.
Shanna was on maternity leave but was employed at a local hospital. Shanna was an RN. Craig reportedly worked at Costco (there's a new one only 5 minutes from the couple's home and he had apparently worked at Costco in Colorado as well).
LE released no statements in the first few days, except to say that Craig was cooperating, no one had been ruled out as a suspect, and they were investigating.
Meanwhile, residents of the normally safe neighborhood were interviewed and on edge about a possible home invader and baby killer on the loose.
Yesterday, Forth Worth homicide detective Barron told the media that Craig Vandewege was no longer cooperating, had lawyered-up, could not be eliminated as a suspect, and was hindering the investigation.
