just got in the door with my new son-in-law my son kyle was here okay sir what i want you to do is walk outside the strongsville police department would come out in force for this case and they would solve it in just four days and when they went public with who killed melinda no one could believe it back on october NUMBER_TOKENrd so this was the night melinda was discovered jeff along with his young daughter and melinda and her son kyle they were all together in the house and at some point jeff had put his daughter down in her playpen and then went into the kitchen where melinda was and he walked up to her pulled out a knife and stabbed her over NUMBER_TOKEN times and then when melinda fell to the ground jeff drew a gun and shot her three additional times to make sure she was dead now while he was doing this his daughter is literally just a few feet away and kyle presumably is also right nearby but he has no way of understanding what's happening to his mother and so with these two totally innocent lives just right nearby jeff would clean off his weapons and he'd take off his bloody clothes and he would hide them inside of his car and then he would just scoop up his daughter and he would leave the house leaving kyle alone in the house with his dying mother in the kitchen just leaves him there shuts the door locks it and then jeff and his daughter would drive to applebee's to have dinner with melinda's husband and her daughter and then after several hours when they got back to the property jeff knew what was waiting for them inside and he still allowed bruce to go inside first and discover his dying wife on the kitchen floor very little is known about why jeff did this because jeff has actually never come out and given his motive for the crime the running theory is that jeff actually was not going to be able to pay for the wedding which was coming up in a couple of days and the wedding venue had actually contacted melinda and said hey you know we're canceling the wedding because your future son-in-law can't pay for it and so melinda apparently confronted jeff about his financial troubles and the theory is he snapped and killed her however that can't possibly be the entire story for why he did this because it would turn out jeff was found to be responsible for literally every single suspicious event that had taken place around the pleskovic property leading up to the attack meaning every time they had seen strangers lurking around their property or people trying to break into their house that had been because of jeff either it was literally jeff outside being one of these suspicious people or he had asked friends or hired someone or groups of people to pretend to be suspicious people on the property or jeff had been the only person to see these suspicious people and then miraculously when other people attempted to look outside you know they were gone and so obviously jeff was lying and so i actually had the opportunity to speak with one of jeff's childhood friends who was actually living roughly in the strongsville area when this horrible murder took place and what this person told me is that what is kind of generally accepted as why jeff did this according to the people in strongsville is that jeff apparently loathed melinda even though
