The Grandma came out and said the family was all right-winger Trump supporters. Then there are pictures of him with all sorts of weapons and guns from childhood to adulthood.

His father is in construction and his mother works with disabled people. They have a huge house that looks like they have a lot of wealth. They are Mormons and are probably well connect in the church.

Maybe they weren't as bad and neglectful as Jennifer and James Crumbley but they certainly have many similar characteristics.
