A Pennsylvania family found shot dead in their backyard last week in what police say appears to be a suicide pact, included a mother and daughter who loved bowling and were devout Christian conservatives, people who knew them said.
Morgan Daub, 26, and her parents, James Daub, 62, and Deborah Daub, 59, were found dead on the ground in the backyard of their home in York County, Pennsylvania, on the morning of Jan. 25, after police responded to a request for a welfare check from a neighbor.
The West Manchester Township Police Department has since said that notes left inside the house indicate that the family recently made a "joint decision" to end their lives. Police believe Deborah Daub shot and killed her husband and then was shot and killed by Morgan, who died by suicide. Police said there were no signs of forced entry or struggle and no evidence that anyone else had been present.
An investigation into the deaths has been closed.
People who knew the family expressed shock and heartbreak at the deaths. Morgan was described by members of the local bowling community as a shy, quiet young woman who was close with her mother and also a talented and avid bowler until she and her mother suddenly stopped visiting bowling stores and alleys in the area a few years ago, around the start of the pandemic.
“Morgan didn’t have a lot of words to say,” said Bret Stabley, who operates the pro shop at Bowlers Supply in York, Pennsylvania, where the mother and daughter were longtime customers. Stabley said he believed Morgan, whom he described as “very meek and quiet” but also “very bright,” was homeschooled and her mother often spoke on her behalf.

Very tragic, very evil.
This happened in my county.
The local news media reported that Morgan, the daughter, had a very fulfilling life as a competitive bowler...UNTIL the Coup-Flu lockdowns.
So she and her family were "kept safe" from the China Cooties....for what?
All in moderation, advised Ben Franklin. Even closeness of relation
Sometimes a family can become too close, too cut off from outside distraction or influence.
Similar to cults.
I have heard of elderly or terminally ill people doing this, but never where a child a young adult went along with the act too. Severe malfunctioning with no one to open up to.
Prayers to Jesus for this family.
These COVID times were times of change in my life and a strong conviction not to vote for any conventional politicians anymore.
I mean Republicans too I have made exceptions for Trump and others like Mike Jones the State Rep. in our area but not too many beyond that.
I’ll write in names even my own if I can’t think of one.
Getting beyond politics I ended up retiring from one job and working more on finding some more sanity and sobriety in my life.
COVID drove others deeper into their Hell’s and let’s all thank the Republicans and Democrats for their contributions Mitch McConnell comparing these COVID shots to Jonas Salk’s polio shots OMG.
A family that prays together slays together.
Aye.
The Plannedemic reset awakened my inner Libertarian.
Mike Jones, Kristin Phillips-Hill, and Lloyd Smucker have my vote and I am very blessed and thankful to live in their districts.
I hope the dog landed well.
Three votes for Trump we won’t be getting.
May God bless their souls!

I questioned posting this but we've got to be strong. Never give up.
I just read the rest of the article.
You are correct. Trumps not winning in 2020 set some members of this family into a deep dark depression. The young lady got ensnared by the grip of that emotional quicksand.
I try to never let any politician get to me like that. I was down and blue when Obama won those two times, because I knew it was going to permanently change America, and not for the better, but I never even thought of bailing out over a president. Most the rest of the world have survived far worse Socialists than Barack. All I need do is focus on my private life and stay out of trouble.

This degree of isolation is not good for anyone.
May God have mercy on their souls.
Good for you...I am glad you are on the right track.
Familyop:
The gal was BS crazy. She’d never be a royal so no worries there.
I just wonder if she’d already killed her parents before this video before she shot herself. Maybe just taking herself and her family to “heaven”. Too bad she didn’t know that suicide is a mortal sin taking you to hell and its too late for confession.
Her parents may be in heaven but she’s likely not.
From a lapsed Catholic but murder of your parents and suicide does not likely get you to heaven.
Just my understanding. Wonder if she was on anti-psychotic meds. If she was they weren’t working.
But I think I am for tonight. ;-)
they absolutely were not devout Christians.
It’s a sin against GOD to take your own life, GOD gave us life to use to the fullest until HE calls us home.
