A father in Tennessee is speaking publicly after investigators say a mother killed her two young sons and their grandmother before taking her own life.
Investigators with the Humphreys County Sheriff's Office say four people were found dead Friday morning during a welfare check at a home on East Little Richland Avenue.
Authorities believe 32-year-old Heather Thompson shot her two young sons and her grandmother before taking her own life.
The victims were identified as 4-year-old Arias Thompson, 13-year-old Isaiah Johnson, and 88-year-old Evelyn Johnson.
Jeremiah Thompson is Arias' biological father and Isaiah's stepfather.
He says he has been part of Isaiah's life since the boy was a baby.
He and Heather were separated but still talked every day.
When he first received the call that his family was gone,
He misunderstood.
Thompson tells WSMV the reality did not sink in right away.
He describes the first hours as overwhelming.
Thompson describes Isaiah becoming more involved in sports and learning instruments.
He says Arias loved being around his older brother and like to pester him.
Thompson says he never saw any warning signs.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is assisting as the case remains under review pending autopsy results.
A community memorial for all four family members is scheduled at the Humphreys County Funeral Home.
It is open to the public.
Thompson has also launched a GoFundMe to help bring his sons back to New Mexico for burial, which is $2,000 shy of its $20,000 goal.
