It’s said Sarah and Steven were going through a divorce, with Steven apparently growing aggressive and emotional of late. On Saturday, Steven was supposed to meet with Sarah, but didn’t show up at their custody exchange location.
Sarah feared that Steven was capable of hurting their son, but she and many others were praying for a different outcome.
As yet, investigators haven’t released details concerning the causes of death or how they located the bodies.
Such a sad end to a tragic story. We’re sending all our prayers in the direction of Sarah Weir.
