It was early in the morning.

There was an unusual knock on Erica’s door. Erica opened the door. Then, she received gut-wrenching news that completely shattered her life.

Tristan was found bleeding inside his tent. His two daughters were drenched in his blood.

“Deputies say they found him bleeding and dying inside his tent. His two and four-year-old daughters were with him but unhurt.

His death in a tent with his toddler daughters nearby is so devastating and so puzzling.”
