Details of Murder
According to police, on the night of March 23 or the morning of March 24, 2008, Sueppel bludgeoned his wife Sheryl to death and then took the four children to the garage and attempted to kill them (and himself) by carbon monoxide poisoning. When this failed, he resorted to a baseball bat and killed the children before driving to nearby City Park where he attempted to drown himself. When this in turn failed, he then called 911, requested that rescue personnel be sent to his home, and then drove his van into a concrete abutment on Interstate 80. He died of the combination of injuries suffered in the collision along with the resulting fire. His charred remains were burned beyond recognition and had to be identified using dental records.
