Authorities are now searching for any evidence that might reveal what led to this heartbreaking act. A baby monitor or other electronic equipment from the home may provide insight into Paul’s actions. However, Limani acknowledged that no explanation could truly alleviate the sorrow felt by loved ones.

Neighbors have been left in disbelief. Dick Shawley, who lives nearby, recalled seeing police outside the Swarner home but had not noticed any prior disturbances. He fondly remembered playing Santa Claus for the children during Christmas. “They were always jumping around and happy. And I’ll never get it out of my mind. Such devastation. Such precious lives lost.”
