On Thursday afternoon, Cindy Soliz, the suspect’s mother, found out that her two grandchildren and daugher-in-law had been killed. When she found out her own son allegedly murdered his family, she claimed that he must have “snapped,” according to The Leaf-Chronicle.
“Something must have snapped in Jordan because he loved his kids and he loved his wife. They were loving. They were the best kids, the happiest babies, and Jordan was the best daddy.”
Soliz hasn’t spoken to her son yet, and stated she didn’t know what would have caused him to snap.
