Davenport mother and daughter slain in double homicide
A day after the two women were found dead in Davenport Iowa a letter and diary allegedly from the older victim claimed she was forced to become a murderer. The 50 year old woman accused her former son in law of molesting her granddaughters and destroying the family. The two daughters aged 2 and 3 were wounded and hospitalized as police investigated a possible double homicide. The Times reported the packet suggested the older woman killed her daughter and then shot herself. The items were mailed hours before the shootings.
