On Thursday July 9th, a couple who was known for adopting special needs children was killed in their home. The couple’s names were Byrd and Melanie Billings and they lived in Pensacola, Florida. Together, the couple had 16 children, 12 of which were adopted – several having Down Syndrome, Autism, and other disabilities.
While three men have been arrested for the murder of these parents, the whole story and what is referred to as a “complex web of relationships” hasn’t been released. According to the media, the family did not know any of the murder suspects and robbery was one of the reasons for this horrible tragedy.
The Billings were a wealthy couple who wanted to share their wealth with children who were in need, but “didn’t imagine their family would grow so large.” The FrameWorks staff would like to send our condolences out to the family and friends of this family. It is sad to see that such a loving family who opened their lives and their hearts to so many children have had such untimely deaths.
