Teasing messages and heartbroken goodbyes
The situation escalated when Kriger picked up her young son from daycare. Distraught, she sent her ex-husband a series of nasty messages, including FaceTime calls and text messages full of ominous warnings. An explanatory note read: “You won’t have anything at all by the end of the day.” Krieger’s last text message to her ex-husband was a dire command: “Say goodbye to your son.”
The offending video was shown
Authorities have released a 21-second video taken from Kriger’s cell phone. The footage shows Kriger and her son sitting in a pit, nearing the end of their lives. At the end, Kriger sadly pleads with his son to “say goodbye to dad”, before apologizing for his absence and kissing him on the forehead.
The harsh reality slowly emerges
Although there was no fatal shooting in the film, authorities said Krieger’s intentions were clear. Cell phone records shed more light on Kriger’s behavior, as she reviewed cartoon videos of children to try to show how normal they were in the midst of trouble.
The custody battle is over
Kriger’s bitter custody battle revealed a strained relationship with her ex-husband. After filing for divorce and obtaining a temporary restraining order, Krieger took her final steps before a big court date. The fate of their deaths has adversely affected the upcoming detention hearings, leaving authorities and loved ones with unanswered questions and untold death.
The tragic deaths of Savannah Kriger and her young son, Kaiden, are a reminder of the true impact of unresolved conflict and heartbreak. When people cry about their illnesses, they can feel the severity of their unexpected illnesses. This shows the importance of love, understanding, and support in times of crisis. In light of this heartbreaking tragedy, let their memory serve as a profound reminder of the fragility of life and the need for love in our interactions with others.
