He wasn't happy about his wife's affair, he was struggling to keep his job and raise 5 children, he had a criminal past, meth was found in his vehicle... All of those factors likey contributed to his mental state, IMO. But, Timothy Ray Jones told police that his motive for killing his 5 children was that he thought that "they were going to kill him, chop him up and feed him to the dogs".
Snip:
Jones ordered his children, ages 1 to 8, out of his vehicle at a Lexington Walmart on Aug. 28 because he "believed the children were going to kill him, chop him up and feed him to the dogs," according to the warrant. Authorities have said Jones picked up his children from school and daycare that day, the last time they were seen alive.
Authorities said he killed his children at his Lexington home, put the bodies in plastic trash bags and drove for nine days around the Southeast. The warrant said authorities found blood in his vehicle and handwritten notes about killing and mutilating bodies after he was stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Mississippi on Sept. 6.
A message left for Jones' lawyer was not returned Wednesday. Jones waived a first appearance hearing last week, and his attorneys said he has been treated for mental illness in the past (HOTD: this contradicts a public statement last week) and they want a mental evaluation conducted on him as soon as possible.
