On June 7, 2015, five-year-old Augustine Bournes was one of four children and a mother killed in an apparent murder-suicide at the family’s remote cabin in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest near Deer Lodge, Montana. Authorities say the family patriarch, 59-year-old Michael Augustine Bournes, shot his wife, 37-year-old Arie Arlynn Lee, their one-year-old daughter Arie, four-year-old Woodrow, and Augustine, then set the cabin on fire and died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound with a .45-caliber handgun.

Michael Bournes reportedly called an acquaintance to confess, saying his wife had been mocking him; that person alerted authorities but crews had difficulty locating the secluded cabin. Investigators concluded Michael Bournes was the sole person responsible and the chief closed the investigation as a murder-suicide. Friends recalled Arie as sociable and active in the community, while Michael was described as controlling.

Does anyone who knew this family or spent time in the Deer Lodge area around 2015 have information that could add context to what happened?
