The MySpace and Facebook pages of the daughters of Pablo Josue Amador, 54, shed light on the inner turmoil his daughters were apparently feeling mere hours before the murders.
''Crying/hurting inside. Don't know how to deal. Not even gonna try attempting anymore,'' wrote Amador's oldest daughter Beula ''Bea'' Beatriz Amador, 20, on Facebook at 1 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald.
She didn't go into detail in the posting written just five hours before her mother Maria Amador and younger sisters Priscila and Rosa were killed. Bea Amador, a student at the University of Miami, was not home and not among the victims of the massacre — nor was her 16-year-old brother, who escaped.
''I have gone through so much and yet I still try to stand tall, because this whole world is coming down on me, and me blocking it hurts more and more,'' Priscila, 14, wrote on MySpace."That's why I don't care anymore.''
It was not immediately clear what either daughter was referring to in their posts on MySpace and Facebook.
Those who knew Pablo Amador, a music teacher and former opera tenor, described him as a "regular dad" who made music with his children and taught kids to play piano. They are confounded over what led him to snap.
Investigators carried out the four bodies of Pablo, his 47-year-old wife and two young girls on Wednesday, found inside their gray-trimmed, white ranch house.The son who escaped the shootings uninjured called 911 at 5:58 a.m. as he fled the home, police said. Authorities have not said where he is now.
His wife was the education director at the University of Miami's Project to Cure Paralysis.
Next-door neighbor Christina Ruiz, a 23-year-old social work student, described Amador as a "regular dad" who helped her grandmother jump-start her car several times but who was known to complain when he was bothered by noise or work being done on her house.Amador sang tenor with the Greater Miami Opera chorus and was a soloist at Kendall United Methodist Church, he said on his Web site. Officials at both weren't able to confirm that information.
Those in the community said that Amador worked at a music store, in addition to giving lessons. His wife had nursing degrees; as director of education at the Project to Cure Paralysis, she taught about spinal cord injuries and answered calls from patients looking for the right doctor.
It just breaks my heart when you hear something like this happen. As something similar to this has happened in Valley City. It was many years ago when a husband killed his wife and then himself he did not hurt his children. I am not sure if there were signs of trouble in this case. It is sad to know there were noticeable signs on facebook and myspace and none of the friends of this individual did anything to help. Murder and suicide are two things I think we can all help to prevent. I hope the people looking at this as a learning experience and how they can recognize the signs of suicide or even depression in someone.

What a sad story. The poor son that now has to live without his family will need alot of love and support. It would not even be possible to understand how he is feeling and how lost he must feel. How could a father do something like this to his own family?
ReplyDeleteI think there is too much publicity given to acts of violence like this and other things like school shootings. When someone has issues I think they copycat the things they see. They see this as a solution, negative as it is, and don't see positive ways to solve their situation.
Personally, I see suicide as a selfish act. And then to take your pain and hurting out on your family? That's selfish too. Good thing the boy has his older sister still. Sometimes its hard to know though, that someone is about to snap. But if there are any signs someone should speak up and prevent a horrible thing like this from happening. As Kim said, people tend to copycat, and just do whatever first comes to mind. They don't think about consequences at all. Or the people they will hurt in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sad and disturbing story. I can not believe what some people will do to their families. I know that times are tough but death is never a solution in my eyes. When some one takes their own life, just because they can not handle the pressures any more is just hard for me to comprehend. I have always heard of many different help lines for people to call or contact for personal confidential help. I hope the rest of the family can live on strong.
