Schoenborn fled the area prior to the children being found and has not yet been located. There is no indication that Schoenborn is deceased.

Not a very flattering picture, to be sure.
It is too easy to judge people by their looks, but.....................

How utterly horrific. I can't imagine what the mother is going through.

Of course the piece of crap that committed this atrocity was too yellow to do himself in. Coward. I hope there is a special place waiting for him.

It just leaves a sick feeling inside. I cant imagine the last moments for those poor children. All the rules and bylaws...and yet anyone can have kids.

You can't go far without getting fuel or a ride. I expect they will find him camping in the bush or dead.

My sincere condolences to the mother, I can't imagine.

IMHO, only a coward would do himself in. Thats the easy way out.

That is one way of looking at it, however I would prefer if the guy checked himself out. It would save everyone a lot of trouble. The man is a coward...if he is responsible for this crime, he killed 3 innocent children...his own no less. He could have done himself in and done us all a favour...but he was too much of a coward to kill himself. This was the definition of cowardice, to take 3 little lives because he couldn't face his own problems.
What else could you call it?
