Stephen Dale Barbee didn't want his wife to find out about the pregnancy. He had dated Lisa Underwood for 2 years, they broke up when Barbee started seeing another woman.

According to police, Barbee stated that he and Lisa were fighting over him leaving his wife. He suffocated her and when Jaden her 7 year old son interrupted the attack, Barbee suffocated him as well. He put the bodies in the back of Lisa's SUV, took them to some woods near Denton, TX and buried them in a shallow grave.

Court papers further reveal that a suspicious looking mud covered man fitting Barbee's description was stopped and briefly detained by a deputy early Saturday but he escaped into the woods.
