Tragedy struck in San Antonio when Savannah Kriger and her three-year-old son Kaiden were found dead in a murder-suicide case that has left the community reeling. According to KENS 5, the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the mother's death a suicide while young Kaiden's was a homicide. A harrowing final message sent by Savannah to her ex-husband read "Say goodbye to your son," as shared by Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar.

Fox San Antonio provided a detailed timeline leading up to the deaths, pieced together from GPS and phone records. After leaving her workplace, Kriger went to her ex-husband's home, where she destroyed various items. In the sordid event, furniture and personal clothing weren't the only casualties; Kriger shot her wedding portraits back at her own residence in Alamo Ranch, indicating the depth of her despair.

The investigation showed that after the destruction at her ex-husband's house, Savannah retrieved Kaiden from daycare. Later, she recorded a brief and chilling 21-second video with Kaiden in Tom Slick Park, where the two were found deceased. In it, she instructed Kaiden to say goodbye to his father, as stated by Sheriff Salazar to KENS 5. A handgun and matching shell casings were found near the bodies.

Amid the unfolding investigation, Marta Prada Pelaez, the CEO of Family Violence Prevention Services, reflected on the breadth of this tragedy in an interview with KENS 5, saying, "We will never know the complete picture. We only know of the level of despair that this mother must have had," Pelaez highlighted the sad reality that children are often the victims in such violent scenarios.
