Almost $26,000 Was Raised In Five days For Kimberly Dunphey and her son Owen Scott

The GoFundMe account for the family of the Lacey mother and her 7-year-old son who were both murdered by her husband last week before he took his own life is no longer accepting donations.
Donations totaled $25,950, well over the $20,000 goal. In just five days, 586 people stepped up to donate.
Kimberly's family cannot afford to two unanticipated funerals, according to the post on the account.

"Diane, John and Doug (Kim’s mother and 2 brothers) are beyond devastated and are struggling to deal with this loss," the post states.
Kim's husband Gregg Scott killed Kim, her son, and the family dog after a "marital dispute," in their Nautilus Boulevard home, then killed himself, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office has said.

An autopsy on Gregg Scott determined that he died of self-inflicted injuries, said spokesman Al Della Fave.
Kimberly, Owen and the dog died of blunt force trauma, he has said.
The Prosecutor's Office has held back on releasing further details to spare the surviving family members any further pain.
Lacey Police Chief Michael DiBella and Capt. Patrick Ganley have also declined to discuss the details of the homicides. The murders were also hard on Lacey police officers who were the first to respond, the two said.
Lacey has had homicides in the past, but nothing of this magnitude that the two men could remember.
Daily debriefings and counseling for incidents like this help police officers deal with tragedies like this.
