Days after a family was found murdered after a house fire in Riverside, the deceased victims' daughter and sister spoke out at an emotional press conference.Days after a family was found murdered after a house fire in Riverside, the deceased victims' daughter and sister spoke out Wednesday at an emotional press conference that included an update on the investigation from police officials.

Blandin also issued a heartfelt plea for support for the young daughters of Brooke Winek, who was a single mother. "I think the question we all need to ask ourselves isn't 'What happened that day or the next day, but why? And what can we do as parents, as community members, as law enforcement, in order to make a difference, to raise awareness for what's going on."

Gotta put a lot of the blame on that 15 year old girls meeting a stranger off the internet.. giving him directions and access to their house.. 2 generations in a family killed because of some dumb kid’s decision..

Cat fished a teenager saying he was 17 yrs old, and she accepted. Thank God my daughter made it past this SM insanity! And 13 yr olds on Twitter? Its easy until they're teens .😿

It's like the beginning of the video was intentionally edited out. Likely the part where she was mentioning that the murderer was A COP.
