Coroner: Dad killed 3-year-old daughter in murder-suicide; dad "upset over pending custody issues" (Longmont, Colorado)

Well, we knew this was a murder-suicide last month, didn't we? But now it's official.

Notice the media blames this girl's murder on dad DAVID HEYDENBERG's frustration over "pending custody issues." He was apparently "disatisfied" thus far--unhappy enough, it seems, to murder a preschooler in cold blood.

Just have to show everybody that Daddy's Not Happy, don't we?

Let's look at this without all the crap, okay? This guy was able to slaughter this innocent little girl because, in fact, HE HAD ACCESS. As a matter of fact, the mother and an older son triggered the police investigation when they were unable to reach the father after his visitation period with the little girl had ended.

"Frustration" had nothing to do with this crime. The problem is providing abusive control freak fathers with access to vulnerable victims, especially when the fathers are being triggered by a loss of family "control."

Coroner rules August deaths of daughter and father as homicide, suicide

LONGMONT -- The Boulder County Coroner's Office on Wednesday confirmed that a father and child found shot to death on Aug. 7 in a Longmont home died in a murder-suicide.

The coroner's office determined 3-year-old Allyson Heydenburg died from gunshots to the head and chest and concluded her manner of death was a homicide. David Heydenburg died of a gunshot wound to the head in a suicide.

Police suspected the deaths were a murder-suicide from the outset of the investigation. The coroner verified investigators' beliefs with the official ruling Wednesday.

According to police, David Heydenburg was upset over pending custody issues and apparently shot and killed his daughter and then himself in his home at 1260 Red Mountain Drive. His wife and her son called police when they arrived at the home to pick up the toddler after a weekend visit and found the house locked up and could not reach David Heydenburg on his cellphone. Police officers who entered the house to check on the welfare of the father and daughter discovered the bodies.

Investigators later learned that David Heydenburg had sent a number of people letters that said he was dissatisfied with the circumstances of his marriage and pending custody of the toddler.

Police found evidence that David Heydenburg had left his car running in the garage, likely in an attempt to asphyxiate himself and the child. Blood toxicology results were not immediately available from the Boulder County Coroner's Office on Wednesday, but Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said the results revealed both carbon monoxide and Ambien in David and Allyson Heydenburg's blood.
