In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a serene afternoon at a park in San Antonio, Texas, turned into a scene of unimaginable horror. On March 19, 32-year-old Savannah Kriger and her 3-year-old son, Kaiden, were discovered with fatal gunshot wounds to their heads, sending shockwaves through the community.
According to reports from the New York Post, Kriger’s behavior leading up to the tragic incident had raised red flags. She had exhibited disturbing actions, such as shooting at her own wedding photos and vandalizing her ex-husband’s residence. Prior to the fateful day, she had sent threatening FaceTime videos and texts to her former partner, indicating a deeply troubled state of mind.
The sequence of events leading to the tragedy began on the afternoon of March 18 when Kriger left work and targeted her ex-husband’s home while he was away. Inflicting damage upon his residence, she then returned to her own dwelling, where she allegedly arranged her wedding attire and portraits on the bed before firing shots at them.
In one particularly chilling FaceTime call, Kriger uttered ominous words to her ex-husband: “You don’t have anything to go home to now. You really don’t. You won’t have anything at all at the end of the day.” The final text message she sent to him simply stated, “Say goodbye to your son,” foreshadowing the unspeakable tragedy that would soon unfold.
A 21-second video recovered from Kriger’s phone provided a haunting glimpse into the last moments shared between mother and child. The footage depicted Kriger and Kaiden sitting in a ditch at the park where their lifeless bodies were later found, leaving investigators and the community grappling with profound sadness and unanswered questions.
Sheriff Javier Salazar of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office expressed the heartbreaking nature of the incident, underscoring the need for support and vigilance within communities to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
