David Crowley, an independent filmmaker and screenwriter, shot his wife, Komel, and their 5-year-old daughter Rani in the head before shooting himself, according to a report from the Hennepin County medical examiners office released Wednesday.
Yet Jason Allen, a producer based in Los Angeles, also said Wednesday that Crowleys words and actions when the two met in September and in an e-mail Crowley sent him on Dec. 17, seem contradictory to a man who was about to kill his family and himself.
A news release from the Apple Valley Police Department also contained the official identifications and said the investigation is continuing.
Crowley had written a screenplay and produced a trailer for a movie called Gray State, about government conspiracy and militarization. He wrote to Allen that he was working 18-hour days to build his concept into an empire.

It sure is weird. There have been many cases initially labeled suicide that later turned out to be homicide.
BTW, even liberals such as John Munch doesn't believe Vince Foster committed suicide.

Null and void, I think.
Nully, this one is so suspicious. No, strike that. This one is so obvious.

It says the bodies were there for weeks? Weird, and if true, then the supposed murders, suicide, happened even closer to when the film maker told his friend that he's "not suicidal". In other words-he seems to be implying that if anything happens to him, it's not an accident.
Unfortunately I don't think this will get the thorough investigation it deserves.

Investigators now say the last known activity at the house was in late DecemberExcept they both stopped posting on FB right before Halloween.
There were also no signs of intrusion or struggle in the home, Bermal said.
Shh, let's ignore the back door being open in Minnesota in the middle of winter.

It was during the latter part of our conversation that he made the statement that is most unsettling and troubling to me. It was six months after the death of Andrew Breitbart and five months before the accident that claimed the life of Michael Hastings. He ominously confided that he had no intentions of committing suicide or otherwise becoming a statistic as he had so much to live for. Im not prone to suicide, he told me.

Yikes...seeing the trailer to the film he was working on just makes this story more creepy.

It’s the reason he and his darling family were executed.

That is one very scarey trailer - soooo real. The body shields with “FEMA” on them could have pushed some parties over the edge...
I wonder how advanced the script was - whether any bold person would pick it up again.

Such a beautiful young family!
The ‘grassy knoll’ - Johnson’s wink, arkancide - and now...
Is it any wonder then that we elect decent people to office and then they ‘change’?
Don’t you believe they are given warnings not to ‘rock the boat’ or else?

I agree, this does look "suspicious". Yes, it does.

Earlier I was researching this case, and haven’t been able to find enough proof to come to a conclusion.
There seem to be conflicting stories about all the details. I would have to say it is possible that things turned sour and he went off the deep end.
It is also just as possible that he and his family were killed professionally as a way to stop him and warn his supporters.
The fact that the medical examiner is the one who is declaring it a suicide is what bothers me.
