Suicide tears apart family — twice
A Kentucky woman who stabbed her two daughters to death before shooting herself in the head was affected by suicide herself when her husband killed himself three years earlier.
The killings confused many in the neighborhood who saw her with the girls every day. A counselor at the girls’ school, Wendy Anderson, described Hope Orwick as a volunteer and “just the mom you want supporting the school,” and Emily as “the type of student you want 24 of.”
She said the school staff saw Hope Orwick on Thursday, the last day of classes before the family was found dead.
“There were no signs. There was nothing that even looked odd,” she said. “Any single mom keeping children on their own can be a handful.”
