None of us ever wants to see a heartbreaking story like this. Unfortunately, it reminds us that a person’s emotional state can lead to devastation. The timeline, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, that led to Savannah Kriger killing her 3-year-old son Kaiden is quite disturbing and filled with red flags of a woman in a troubled emotional state.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
