It was the butler!
Alton man throws children off 15th floor of Miami Beach hotel
A cancer doctor from Godfrey celebrating his wedding anniversary threw his two young sons off the 15th-story balcony of a South Beach hotel Saturday before jumping to his death, police say.
Dr. Edward Van Dyk, a radiation oncologist at Alton Memorial Hospital, and his two sons were found dead on the overhang below the hotel balcony, on one of the city’s busiest drives.
Spencer, 4, and Carl, 8, were in their pajamas.
Miami Beach police are investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
Van Dyk’s wife, Qinuo, called police at 8:37 a.m. Saturday. She told them that she had seen her husband jump off the balcony and that when she looked over, she saw her sons’ bodies there as well.
Horrible crime, but read the story and look for what substance is being used to justify the headline. The police aren’t talking, the only person who is talking is the widow who aparantly saw her husband jump.
The wife doesn’t seem to have an alibi but the fact that she tells the police that they had been having “marital problems” seems to provide a perfect motive for the husband to throw himself and his kids out of his hotel window.
Could it be that the reason for thier marital problems was that she was having an affair with the butler?
Why is it that these types of crimes are simply brushed off as someone flipping their lid? Where’s Miss Marple when you need her?
