A mother shot dead her husband and eight-year-old autistic son before killing herself, police believe.
Jenny Williamson, 49, was found dead in her home near Albany, Louisiana, on Monday morning along with Steven Williamson, 49, and their son, Jio.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said they were killed late Friday night or early Saturday morning at the remote home surrounded by woods.
A relative found the bodies when he arrived at the house after being unable to locate the couple.
Jio is believed to be the son of one of Jenny’s relatives and that she and her husband had custody of him. She also had two adult children.
Jenny Williamson, 49, was found dead in her home near Albany, Louisiana, on Monday morning along with Steven Williamson, 49, and their son Jio.
The couple tied the knot in February 2022 after 19 years together.
Photos shared online show the couple taking Jio to Disney World, Dollywood, festivals and dressing up for Halloween.
Jenny appeared to be a loving wife and mother with no signs of discontent on her social media.
“I love you more than words can express,” she wrote about her husband last August on his birthday, which was celebrated with Jio and two elaborate cakes.
Jenny also celebrated her wedding anniversary in February, just two years after their marriage despite being together for 21 years.
Jio is believed to be the son of one of Jenny’s family members and that she and her husband had custody of him.

The family moved across the lake from near New Orleans in June of last year, paying $293,000 for the three-bedroom home on West Bates Road.
Ard said there was no history of domestic violence.
“This is horrible. It’s something you never want to see. I’m sure everyone has questions,” he said.
“Every time you see these kinds of scenes, you think something has to be going on for this to happen.”
Jenny was believed to be suffering from mental health issues, but police were unsure of anything specific.
The suspected murder-suicide is under investigation.
