Summary

A family man with a history of violent, aggressive and controlling tendencies, Tausha’s estranged husband, Michael Haight, shot and killed his family before taking his own life. Tausha's biggest desire in life was to raise her children. She was a mother of 5 who would do anything for them.. The 5 Children whose ages ranged from 4 to 17, had so much more ahead of them and their lives were taken too soon. On January 4, 2023, the Enoch County Police Department were called to the Haight Family home to conduct a well-check. Tausha had recently filed for divorce from Michael and the family were concerned that Michael might try to harm them. The police didn’t notice anything suspicious and left a card on the front door for the family to get in contact with them. Hours later, a close family friend found an open door and discovered that the entire Haight family had been massacred. Support us! Want ad free listening?
