Wow, I am shocked to read these comments and especially the family member’s comments. A father and child are dead and a mother has lost her daughter and the audacity people have to judge and write the nasty comments amaze me. I really cannot believe this story and what I have read. This is sad enough without adding all this hatred. My gosh a child is murdered and all people are concerned about is cutting one another down and pointing fingers. No matter how rotten one may think another is, this woman lost a child and this family lost a son and family members are left with grief and disbelief. Comfort one another and help each person get through this tragedy.

As a human being with compassion and dignity, all I can say is this is tragic. We can not judge, blame, point fingers and make this any worse then it already is. Please love each other and find peace, most of all pray that the Lord is watching over Ryan, Teigan and their family members. God be with you all and rid your hearts of this hatred for it will consume you.

I will pray for this family.

This is so very tragic and sad, the main point is this father killed his own daughter in cold blood .. I don’t think he’s thinking of hugging and kissing this precious innocent child if he could do that to her.
This man knew he was falling apart and so did his family someone should of taken him to get treatment for his depression before it came to this tragedy. So the main point is this innocent beautiful little girl died seeing her own father kill her.
Rest in Peace Teigan you are with the Angels now sweet baby.

No good Dad will kill their kid – no matter what the circumstances. This was a SELFISH act of violence – a man like him under the impression if he can’t have her no one can – the true profile of an abuser. RIP sweet baby girl. You are with your REAL Father now – God will be holding you safely in his arms until Mommy comes to be with you.

Nobody asked me. I even said, “As an outsider.” The difference between you and me is that I can offer an unbiased viewpoint while yours is obviously tainted by your inability to reconcile the good you want to believe was within someone you knew and the horrific thing that he did that, frankly, cannot be defended. The very fact that anyone would say there was any justification for a man to shoot his own child is a testament to just how unqualified you are to comment on this story. I’m sorry for any pain you may be trying to cope with, but no matter how badly a man’s ex-wife may treat him, there’s absolutely no justification for killing one’s children.

PS If you hope to tell “so much more to this story” soon, you should learn to spell and use punctuation.

She Still Lives – what are you to embarrassed to admitt your a family member of her’s I don’t blame you!!! Why don’t you take your kid to cracksvill and let them stay the night with somebody you don’t know and don’t want you to know anything about them. I wonder why!! well what you have to say means nothing to me and so many that know the truth!! There is so much more to this story and hope to tell it soon.

As an outsider, I have to say that if what pushed him over the edge was his wife going to court and saying she thought he shouldn’t be allowed around their daughter any longer, he kind of made her point for her. It’s hard to say she was wrong after he put a bullet in the kid.

And no matter how great a dad he might have been up until June 18th, it’s all more than counterbalanced by the fact he killed his only child in cold blood in the middle of the wilderness where her corpse could be consumed by animals. This shouldn’t be a he said/she said kind of nit-picky thing.

“She has an ugly boyfriend who used to tease Ryan!”
“He killed their only child.”
End of argument. His side loses.
