San Antonio, Texas – A tragic incident unfolded in a park in Texas, where Savannah Kriger made her three-year-old son, Kaiden, say ‘goodbye to Daddy’ before taking both their lives in a murder-suicide. The devastating events occurred just a day before Kriger was scheduled for a custody hearing concerning Kaiden.
It all began on March 18 when Kriger, 32, abruptly diverged from her routine and visited her ex-husband’s residence while he was away. There, she reportedly vandalized his belongings and upon returning home, proceeded to destroy precious mementos from her past marriage. Authorities revealed that Kriger then retrieved Kaiden from daycare and started sending disturbing messages to his father, hinting at her ominous intentions.
In a chilling FaceTime call to Kaiden’s father, Kriger ominously stated, “You won’t have anything at all at the end of the day.” This was followed by a final text instructing him to “say goodbye to your son.” Tragically, an amber alert was issued, and their lifeless bodies were discovered at the park 19 hours later.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed the deaths as a case of murder-suicide. Kriger had reportedly initiated divorce proceedings and secured a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband just a week before the heartbreaking incident. The community was left in shock as details emerged of the disturbing circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
While the specifics of the events leading to their deaths remain unclear, the harrowing nature of the situation has left many questioning the factors that could drive a mother to commit such a heinous act. The devastating loss of life has sparked conversations about mental health support and the importance of early intervention in cases involving signs of distress.
As the community grapples with the aftermath of this heartbreaking event, the need for open dialogue and support systems for individuals facing challenging circumstances has been underscored. The tragic loss of Savannah Kriger and little Kaiden serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of seeking help in times of crisis.
