An abusive man who pledges to change, who says he loves his wife and children. A woman who wants out, who has fallen for a younger man.
Alan Atwater, 31, was desperately in love with his wife, Dawn. The day before he killed her and their three children, he told his aunt he would do anything to keep the family together, according to a 56-page report from the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office that was released Tuesday.

"Atwater spent several weeks out of state, working in another nuclear power plant. About one month before the killings, he sent his 20-year-old friend a text message stating "he wanted Dawn to be happy and that he couldn't make her happy at the moment and that he wanted me to go over and sleep with her," the man told investigators."
This part makes no sense to me, not that any part of this case makes sense.
This just seems totally crazy to me! I mean I know some people are into that kind of stuff, but if he loved his wife sooo much and she was everything to him, I can't see him being ok with letting her sleep with someone else, let alone a friend!
