Edmond Mitri Saad III, 45, a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, was one of four family members found shot to death and their mobile home set on fire on September 2, 2004, in Livingston, Texas. The victims were Saad, his wife Eva Lou Thompson Saad, 47, and their 14-year-old son, Edmond Mitri Saad IV, discovered in their burning home at the Escapees RV Park where they had moved to care for Eva’s elderly parents.

Investigators say the perpetrator was Eva’s father, 75-year-old Floyd Thompson, who lived nearby. Thompson reportedly shot his estranged wife, Betty Thompson, during a separate encounter in the Saads’ home, then killed his daughter, son-in-law and grandson in a rear bedroom, reloading a .38-caliber handgun at some point. Afterward he poured gasoline over the bodies and set the house ablaze, then drove to the police station to report the fire without mentioning the killings.

Thompson was charged with four counts of capital murder and one count of arson and pleaded guilty while saying he could not remember committing the crimes; a psychiatric evaluation described his actions as occurring in a moment of passion. Family members remembered the victims for their love and dedication. Does anyone have memories of the Saad family or information that could shed light on their final days?
