Father kills wife, his 3 kids & self in a murder-suicide by driving car into lake

The deaths of two adults and three young children who were in an SUV that plunged into an Arizona lake are being investigated as a murder-suicide as police said Monday that the father of the youngsters deliberately drove the vehicle into the water.
Police spokesman Lt. Mike Pooley said 27-year-old Glenn Edward Baxter purposefully drove himself, his estranged wife and their children into Tempe Town Lake just after midnight Sunday.

Witnesses and officers jumped into the lake in a bid to rescue Baxter, 25-year-old Danica Baxter, and their three children, 1-year-old Zariyah, 2-year-old Nazyiah and 3-year-old Reighn. Police say Glenn Baxter was in the driver's seat.

The children's great-grandfather had expressed his doubts earlier that the deaths were accidental, saying the children's mother had declined her estranged husband's attempts at reconciliation because he hadn't addressed his anger management problems.

George Britt said it doesn't make sense that the early-to-bed-early-to-rise mother would take her children out for a ride just after midnight.
"She is never up at that time of the night," Britt said. "Never, never."
Glenn Baxter's father and other family members gathered Monday morning at a relative's home, but declined interview requests.
The couple married in April 2012, and relatives said they separated several months ago.
Tamika Franklin, an aunt of Danica Baxter, described her as an excellent mother who adored her children.
"Everything she did was for her kids. Her kids were her life. She would never do anything to hurt her kids," she said as she began to cry.
"I can't explain it. It's hard burying anybody but to bury a whole family at once I just don't understand it," she said, shaking her and tearing up.
The parents and the two youngest children were pulled from the vehicle and brought to a hospital, where they later died. Investigators then determined the couple's oldest child was missing, and divers later retrieved the child's body from the still submerged vehicle.

Broken glass and vehicle plastic could be seen Monday near the lake's shore. Two bouquets of flowers and a stuffed animal also were placed nearby.
