On the morning of May 13, 2011, a pre-dawn fire on a quiet street in Ammon, Idaho, revealed a multiple homicide and apparent murder-suicide. Responders found 9-month-old Gage Sumner Gager Kern, his 3-year-old brother Jack Michael Kern (known as Jack Jack), their mother Michelle Marie Kern (known as Shell), and Michelle’s 19-year-old sister Malinda Ann Kern (known as Da) all fatally shot. The children’s grandparents were not home at the time.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Gaylin Leirmoe, the boys’ father who lived in Iowa, as the suspect. Leirmoe had reportedly arrived unexpectedly at the Ammon residence; authorities believe he shot the four family members, set the house on fire, and then shot himself. Leirmoe was transported to a local hospital with a gunshot wound and later died.

Does anyone have information about Gage, his family, or the days leading up to May 13, 2011?
