Sueppels Died Of Blunt Force Trauma!

It was such sad news yesterday after the autopsy results were released in the murders of Sheryl Sueppel and her four children, that I could not bring myself to write anything all day. Just kept going over and over how horrible it must have been to be beaten to death by your own father, and could just pray for them.

I cannot put myself in the place of the people who are defending Steve or making excuses for him as I did not know him personally. However, my boss is best friends with his brother Tom, and said he had attended Hawkeye games with Steve, and Steve's father, and thought he was a nice guy. He just cannot comprehend how Steve could do this to his family, as he was a "good" guy. The comments that I have read on the posts have been from where I was, with anger and outrage that a father could kill his family, to psychological reasons, or "guesses" as to how this could happen. It is an important story that is playing out with strong emotions on every level. In addition, there is the new addition to the mix of the "crazies" from the Westboro Church, who are going to try and ruin the services for the family, as they do at military funerals, or anywhere they can get their message out that God in punishing America for gays, etc.,.

Anyway, the story in yesterdays Iowa Press-Citizen contained the Autopsy results from the state medical examiner regarding the cause of death of Sheryl Sueppel and her four children.


The medical examiner determined that Sheryl Sueppel and her children died from multiple blunt force injuries to their upper torsos and heads, received late Easter Sunday night.

It may take a long time to get all or most of the answers in the cases, but this will surely remain with us for years to come. Prayers, Counseling, and Time,may be the only things that can heal this family and this city!!
