A horrific incident took place on Saturday, March 2, 2024, when a father went to his ex-wife's house to pick up his twin sons. He claimed that his ex-wife, later identified as Genevieve Springer, had killed his two 4-year-old sons. The very next day, on March 3, at about 3.46 pm, authorities arrested Springer.

USA Today reported that authorities have filed two counts of first-degree murder against 44-year-old Springer. According to the sheriff's office, the father went to Genevieve Springer's house at about 10 am to exercise custody over the twins. That is when he called the 911 cops and reported the two deaths. During the 911 call, the father was heard saying,

"I just came to pick them up and my wife, my ex-wife has done something to them, she says she drown them."

According to law enforcement agencies, they are yet to determine the cause of death and the exact time. It can be confirmed only after the autopsies are performed. The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office uploaded a post on Facebook, according to which,

"The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is hopeful that autopsies will narrow down the date and time of the twins’ passing."

The case is an ongoing investigation, and authorities are yet to determine what led to the tragic end of the twins.
