From their statements the detectives reconstruct the facts: Albert and Peggy never stopped quarreling nor did the ever come to terms after Ava came out as transgender woman on April 18, 1996. Peggy, Harry, Albert, Julie, Angie, were pretty much affected by Ava now living as a woman, as Angie and Harry were looking forward to accepting Ava as she transitioned from husband to wife (for Angie), son to daughter (for Harry and Peggy), brother to sister (for Albert). Harry and Julie responded by respectively being servered divorce papers by Peggy and Albert.

Peggy unjustly accused Ava of dressing as a girl on October 31, 1977. She initially did not accept Ava as her transgendered daughter until July 4, 2002.

After Ava came out as a transgender female, Angie felt she was far more happy that her husband was transitioning to her wife (and therefore after Ava's sex change on November 1, 1999, Ava and Angie officially became the first same sex marrige in the state of Indiana–this predates Indiana recognizing same sex marriage by 15 years) after she knew she was already a bisexual. Though Ava noticed Angie and cares about her desire to have more children, but soon she realized Ava knew more than she thought, on her family and herself as a woman (Ava and Angie would get six more children ten years later as they welcomed sextuplets). Peggy, meanwhile, was extemely bittersweet yet mostly bitter that she finally has the daughter that she wanted, but not the way Peggy had wanted or preferred (Peggy would get a biological daughter, A.A. Willis, and had already had an illegitamate daughter that has since transitioned to male).

One evening in 1996, when Peggy returned home from Albert's high school graduation, she finds secretly-taken pictures of a pre-transition Ava all over her living room: it was Brittani Hicks who was seeking child support for her two children with Ava (Stan and Dominique). This disturbed everyone. Peggy again scolded her now-transgendered daughter for her messages all the while Albert protesting that he had not cheated on Julie. In the end, Julie, Albert's wife, confessed it was she who wrote those messages.
