As the girls got older, Lloyd and Michelle grew apart, and in 2008, Lloyd was offered a job down in New Jersey, but Michelle wasn't keen on the idea of uprooting their lives to go with him. So Lloyd went alone, and Michelle and the kids stayed back in their life in Corning.

And friends of Michelle's said she actually seemed much better for this once her husband moved away, that after Lloyd left, it was as if Michelle was more relaxed. She was happier. And apparently the distance made Lloyd happier, too, because sometime after that move, Lloyd told Michelle he wanted a divorce.

But I do want to mention, although the fact that they're both happy or separate, this divorce wasn't very amicable. In 2013, Michelle moved into a new home with the girls. And while their custody seemed to be split, Lloyd wasn't happy with the arrangement. He wanted sole custody of their daughters. something he fought for for years, even as the girls got older.

I mean, their eldest daughter had moved out for college, as did their middle daughter, Carrie, who in 2017 was living in Syracuse, New York, and attending the Rochester Institute of Technology. But by this point, when he's fighting for custody, their youngest daughter, 14-year-old Charlotte, was living at home with Michelle, who still had shared custody.

which was why the events of August 28th, 2017 were so surprising and devastating. So that afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the house to pick 14 year old Charlotte up for a carpool to swim practice. Only Charlotte didn't seem to be home. Instead, when the neighbor rang the doorbell, they saw Michelle, the mother, through the glass paneling at the front door.

She was standing on the stairway, but she was completely motionless. It was as if she didn't hear the door. She just was standing there. And it actually freaked the neighbor out enough. They called 911. Because they were like, is everything like what is going on? I can see her. So officers were dispatched to the house.

And when they get there, they let themselves in and they found 46 year old Michelle on the staircase still like the neighbor had mentioned. Only she's got a rope around her neck.
