North Texas mother speaks out after her twin daughters were allegedly killed by their father in a murder-suicide

NAVARRO COUNTY, Texas. A suspected murder-suicide in Navarro County is under investigation.

The deputies said the 12-year-old twin girls were killed by their father before he shot himself. It happened about 70 miles south of Dallas in the city of Frost.

April Sadler, mother of twin girls, was speechless.

“My firstborn…” she said.

Her daughters, Heaven and Neva, died last week after their father, Larry Thompson, was taken hostage.

“Getting a two-body bag is wrong,” Sadler said.

Navarro County sheriff’s deputies said Thompson shot the girls and then committed suicide.

“They were good kids,” Sadler said.

Sadler said the girls lived with their father, his wife, and his wife’s children.

On Thursday, MPs said Thompson’s wife called police after she had an argument with him and left the house with her children.

“They haven’t contacted me to give me answers about what’s going on in this house,” Sadler said.

When the deputies arrived, they said that Thompson was armed with a pistol and said that he would harm the children if anyone took them from him.

Deputies said Thompson’s mother was at the house with him and the twin girls, trying to calm them down. When she got out, authorities said she heard two shots.

Wyrdle Sadler-Nancy, the twins’ grandmother, said Thompson adored the girls.

“They were precious children. These girls were beautiful, they always hugged and kissed me…,” Sadler-Nancy said.

Sadler-Nancy said she would see the girls twice a month and that they would go shopping and go to the movies.

“They were my heart, my heart,” Werdle said with tears in his eyes.

Child Protective Services said they were never called into the house and are now investigating with the Texas Rangers.

The family has launched an online fundraising campaign to cover the cost of the funeral.
