Grieving Oklahoma Father Pays Tribute to Twins Found Dead in Hot Car

The dev­as­tat­ed father of two-year-old twins from Okla­homa, Avery and Ariel, who were found unre­spon­sive in the back­seat of a fam­i­ly vehi­cle, has bro­ken his silence after vicious rumors were cir­cu­lat­ed online about their trag­ic deaths.

Mar­shall Suter revealed he was at work when he was con­tact­ed by police about the dev­as­tat­ing news that his “bright­est and best twins the world could’ve had” had passed away. The tod­dlers were found around 3pm on Thurs­day in the neigh­bor­hood of Nor­man, where tem­per­a­tures had reached 90°F outside.

In a heart­break­ing trib­ute, Suter said, “From the hugs to the kiss­es to the laughs. Their love was the most pure I had ever felt. And I won’t be able to feel that again. 

Mom and dad love their baby girls.” He added, “No day will ever be the same. Our hearts are shat­tered. Los­ing a child might have be the hard­est thing ever, and I lost two. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay again.”

The twins were sup­posed to have been tak­en to day­care by a fam­i­ly mem­ber, but trag­i­cal­ly end­ed up being left in the back of the car for most of the day. By the time they were dis­cov­ered, it was too late. Police are still inves­ti­gat­ing the time­line of events and how the chil­dren were left in the scorch­ing vehicle.

Despite the vicious online rumors, the Nor­man Police Depart­ment stat­ed they are not cur­rent­ly rec­om­mend­ing charges, as the inci­dent appears to have been a trag­ic accident. 

Suter’s fam­i­ly mem­ber said the com­mu­ni­ty has been dev­as­tat­ed by the loss of the beloved tod­dlers, known for their pure love and insep­a­ra­ble bond.
