Disturbing details about the last moments of a Minnesota man who shot his wife and child before turning the gun on himself have surfaced one year after the killings.
The bodies of 29-year-old Twin Cities screenwriter David Crowley, his wife Komel and their 5-year-old Raniya were discovered in their suburban home last January.
Those around the family were stunned by the tragedy, though relatives and neighbors said they hadn?t seen from them over the holidays and the execution-style deaths are thought to have occurred the day after Christmas.
David Crowley's brother left Christmas presents on the family's door that went unopened.
Conspiracy websites warning of a "New World Order" latched onto the Crowley?s death last year, calling it suspicious because the father was working on a movie about Federal Emergency Management Agency troops taking over the country by force.
Police denied that any intruders entered the home to kill the family, and Apple Valley Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel said that after a year-long investigation authorities believe that the father ?snapped.?
A police report obtained by the Pioneer Press shares new insight into what occurred inside the house, where the shooter is thought to have written ?Allahu Akbar? in his wife?s blood on the wall.
Beauty Komel Crowley met her husband when he was serving with the Army in Texas, was raised Muslim in Pakistan and converted to Christianity for her marriage.
In the living room of the home they shared, a Quran was left open to a page about forgiving the dead for the three weeks before the family's bodies were seen by concerned neighbors through the windows.
Rechtzigel told the Press that the actions appeared to be a ?last little shot by him, a sarcastic thing aimed at (Komel?s) Muslim name.
Investigators say that a Quran was open in the family's living room to a page with a prayer for forgiveness.
Other clues found in the house include the screenwriter saying, ?I have loved you all with all of my heart? in a TextEdit note on his computer, and a note telling investigators to look at a documentary he was making on the device.
?The Rise? appeared to accompany his feature film project ?Gray State,? an apocalyptic government takeover movie he had worked on obsessively for years.
?It almost embodied him. Almost to the extent to where it would dictate a lot of his thoughts and ideas and outlook in reality,? co-producer Danny Mason told Fox 9.
The bodies of Crowley and his victims were found three weeks after the shootings thought to have occurred.
Investigators said that a deal to get the flick made fizzled before the holiday season violence, and Crowley?s business teaching actors how to use weapons for film also reportedly closed.
Though Komel provided money for the family from work as a dietician, friends have pointed to the financial stress for Crowley, as well as possible undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder from time serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The screenwriter had 10 guns in his home, purchased legally, though he is believed to have spent most of his time on the computer.
Police said Crowley also may have tried to kill the family dog, though the animal survived and scavenged from its owners? bodies before they were found.
