we re hoping to get more from his side, his family, as we follow this tragedy. kate, chris. victor, you re asking the right questions. the problem is the answers, and that s why we ll keep putting out information as we get it. nobody wants to get ahead of the conclusion on this one, especially when no one loses more in a situation like this than the parents. thanks for staying on it with the latest. let s take a look at what we understand, bring in mel robbins, cnn commentator and legal analyst. mel, i m still plagued by what we do not know. victor was teeing it up well. what was this man s mental condition? was there a situation at work, a situation with his wife, anything that would lend creed tones a motive for this type of action, but most importantly at this point speak to the idea of timing. there was a search done. victor is all over that, but when? you know, chris, you ve been really good about kind of cautioning all of us to not rush to judgment in this case, despite the f
