A note was left at the home allegedly detailing her plans to **** her ******** and then herself, saying: 'They talked back and were mouthy and that she was going to take care of it.'

'That was the only reason she provided to our detectives.'

'She described the crimes in detail.'

Schenecker's husband, Arm Colonel Parker Schenecker, was stationed at U.S. Central Command headquarters at MacDill Air ***** Base in Tampa.
The Army intelligence officer has been told of his ********'s deaths.
Officers found the body of Calyx Schenecker, 16, in an upstairs bedroom.

An arrest affidavit said Schenecker shot her *** twice in the head 'for talking back' as she drove him to football practice.
She then drove home, went inside and shot her ******** in the back of the head as she sat doing her homework, before shooting her again in the face, the affidavit said.
Ms McElroy said the teenagers 'never saw it coming'. They were both ****** by a .38-calibre ****** which had been bought five days earlier, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Neighbour Charanun Soodjinda, 38, said: 'They seemed like a nice ******. I never thought this would happen.
'How could you do that to your ********?'
Seena Jain, who took turns driving the Schenecker ******** to school, told the St Petersburg Times that Parker Schenecker had taken over doing the school run after his wife was recovering from a serious car accident.
Both teenagers were described as being active at school. Beau played football at Liberty Middle School and Calyx was in the pre-International Baccalaureate programme at King High School, where she did cross-country and had set up a Harry Potter fan club.
