NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — The Sister of Linda Olthof, the woman who was the victim of a New York Monday murder-suicide, says she learned of the deaths after Googling “New York,” when she was unable to contact her sister.
On Monday, a friend of Olthof’s contacted her sister after becoming concerned over a missed date with the woman. That prompted her sister, who lives in Netherlands, to Google “New York” to see if anything was trending. Once there she came across the tragic news of a murder-suicide.
“She believed something had befallen her sister,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said Tuesday, per the Washington Post, and she was right: Olthof and her 6-year-old son James were dead, along with the new wife of her ex-husband, who was also dead. source
Police said James Shields Jr., a 39-year-old physical therapist, shot and killed the three in his Queens apartment before taking his own life during what was to be his son’s routine custodial visit.
