Officers called out for a welfare check and stumble into an unimaginable tragedy.
Officers responded to the Haight residence after 40-year-old Tausha missed a virtual appointment, prompting immediate concern from a friend who knew about the volatile situation brewing inside the home.
Behind closed doors, a devastating pattern had been escalating. Tausha had filed for divorce two weeks prior to this event following years of documented emotional abuse, extreme financial control, and prior child protective services inquiries involving her husband, Michael.
Tausha had asked him to move out, but allowed him to return after an attempt at counseling. However the toxic dynamics quickly resurfaced once he returned home.
When the divorce paperwork was officially served, Michael refused to accept the loss of control. Digital forensics later uncovered a calculated paper trail. Just days before the incident, he ran multiple search queries inquiring about g*n noise levels, whether sh0ts could be heard from inside a garage, and if neighbors would recognize g*nfire at night.
Between the evening and the morning of the discovery of this incident, Michael t00k the lives of Tausha, her 78-year-old mother Gail Earl, and their five children—Macie (17), Briley (12), 7-year-old twins Ammon and Sienna, and Gavin (4)—before taking himself. Investigators later recovered a note left at the scene where he shifted blame for his actions, refusing to accept accountability for unraveling his family.
When Enoch patrol officers and a family friend unlocked the front door that afternoon, they walked into a scene that shook the entire community to its core.
There is a special place in hell for monsters like this that could do something like this to their entire family in my opinion.
