I am trying to understand how this man was found dead of an apparent stab wound, yet mom was not arrested or detained to the point they were all allowed to attend the funeral? Now she has fled - I think we know where this is going.
ETA: oh of course. Larry was a disgusting criminal.
"Allen County sheriff's deputies are investigating the death of a man
who was found injured at 6:38 a.m. Tuesday at 328 Bays Bend Road.
The injured man, Larry Whitney Jr., was taken to The Medical Center at Scottsville, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Other people were inside the home when the incident occurred, Cooke said. No arrests have been made.
Deputies are
in the process of interviewing people who were inside the home when Whitney was injured." (BBM)

And then
"An Allen County woman and her two children have been missing for more than a week and
were last seen two days after the children's father died at a Scottsville residence.
...
Two days after Larry Whitney Jr.'s death, the state Department of Protection and Permanency was
granted emergency custody of the two children, but officials were unable to locate them or Scott on May 18."

So Mr. Whitney "... was found injured at 6:38 a.m. Tuesday ..." and "(o)ther people were inside the home when the incident occurred ..."
It's quite likely, IMO, that the girls were there when their father was fatally injured. It wouldn't surprise me if it was actually them who called for help.
A mere two days later, the state is granted custody of the girls (perhaps because the mother was not willing to have them be interviewed by LE?), but they, as well as the mother, had already vanished by then.
I don't think this is a case in which a parent took off with his/er children because s/he couldn't bear to have them taken away. This is about the mother running from the law in relation to the death of the girls' father, and she took them with her because of what they might know about what happened. The mother has a length, proven criminal history, appears extremely quick to anger on her FB, and is overall dangerous, IMO. I hate that it has already been over ten days since they were last seen ...
