San Antonio, Texas – A tragic case unfolded in San Antonio, Texas when Savannah Kriger made her three-year-old son, Kaiden, say “goodbye to Daddy” before taking both of their lives in a murder-suicide. Their bodies were discovered in a park on March 19, a day before a custody hearing over Kaiden was set to take place.
Prior to the heartbreaking events, Kriger, 32, had reportedly visited her ex-husband’s home and caused damage to his belongings. She then proceeded to send disturbing messages to him, threatening that he would have nothing left to go home to.
