Dad murders 7-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter (Elk County, Pennsylvania)

Notice that there was no other adult (i.e. no mother) in the home at the time of the massacre. Wonder if UNNAMED DAD was involved in a "custody dispute" (i.e. custody war), and was yet another father who should have been denied access--but wasn't.
