Could the need to maintain a facade drive someone to commit the unthinkable? Join me, Clare Laxton, as we untangle the heart-wrenching story of the Sueppel family tragedy that left a community in mourning. On Easter Sunday, 2008 in Iowa Sheryl Sueppel and her four children Ethan (age 10), Seth (age 9), Mira (age 5) and Eleanor (age 3) were brutally killed by husband and father Steven Sueppel. Sueppel then took his own life through a car crash.
This is the story of Sheryl, Ethan, Seth, Mira and Eleanor Sueppel.
