The siblings shared a statement shortly after their brother Nick was seen in court for the first time on December 17. He was bound in shackles and wearing a suicide prevention smock.

"They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends."
They continued: "We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave."
