Oh my. 3 of the children belong to one family… all gone.
The house the family was found in had been searched and cleared multiple times since Lopez escaped on May 12, Clark said.Tomball ISD students, grandfather victims of escaped inmate
Lopez had been on the run since May 12 and is believed to have murdered one adult and four minors on Thursday in Centerville.www.kbtx.com
“We have cleared that area and cleared that residence multiple times. That is within our search perimeter,” said Clark.

Lopez either was hiding while they "cleared" the house multiple times, or he just got there.
There are mafia and then there are mafia....I thought that as a member of mafia, he knew all illegal ways to Mexico.
Seems it was a vacation home so to speak. I assume empty most of the time. But LE checked for him there.I’d like to know what ‘searched and cleared’ means, in this context.

Was GL in the area the entire time? IMHO either he was very good at hiding or they weren’t so good at searching.
Very sad consequences.

Lopez was a member of the Mexican Mafia, a prison / gang reputed to control most Hispanic street gangs in southern California. This control is probably indirect and implemented by a "tribute" system.
That aside, there is no guarantee that Lopez spoke Spanish, had meaningful family in Mexico, or had ever been in Mexico before.
In short, being in the "Mexican Mafia" does mean that escaping to Mexico was a viable option for Lopez. Of course, there is probably an equal chance that it was.
It would be somewhat comforting and appropriate to think they contacted the owners. Were they aware of the potential danger?Here’s what I was thinking—there’s a range of possibilities:
On one side: LE gets in contact with the owners; the owners tell LE which rock the house key is hidden under; LE goes out there, opens the door, walks carefully through all the rooms, looks in all the outbuildings, and hides the key again.
On the other side: LE walks up to the front door, bangs on it; Lopez, who is inside, holds perfectly quiet, LE walks away, saying ‘check that one off the list.’
And of course, there’s a whole range of possibilities in between these extremes. So, I’d like to know what ‘checked and searched’ actually entailed.
The ultimate definition of tragic. Unnecessary taking of their lives. I wish I could stop picturing the terror.And here are the pictures of this dear family, 3 brothers, their cousin, and grandfather to them all. This is gut wrenching…..
5 victims whom escaped Texas inmate may have killed include 3 brothers, cousin, their grandfather
The boys were all students in Tomball ISD, a suburb of Houston.

My gut says he was in the area and when headlights came up the drive he would hide. Police would “clear” the area not finding anything and leave. Difference this time was family came into house, he couldn’t hide and opted to kill them.Seems it was a vacation home so to speak. I assume empty most of the time. But LE checked for him there.

I don't have any heartache over his death either....only regrets and sadness it wasn't a day or two sooner so that this family was spared. Unlucky crossing indeed. Sometimes fate is just plain cruel.My gut says he was in the area and when headlights came up the drive he would hide. Police would “clear” the area not finding anything and leave.

All IMOO. I’m in Northeast Houston area and this story was all over the news down here.
He may have been “cabin” hoping and this was an unlucky crossing.
I don’t have any heartache about suspect being shot.
Again IMOO.
