A devastating tragedy has shaken the small town of Wolcottville, Indiana, where three young sisters, Evalynn, 8, Allison, 6, and Amelia, 5, were found dead in their home, along with their mother, Rebecca Hughes, 32. The investigation, led by the Indiana State Police, is ongoing, with autopsy results pending.
Jonathan Newell, the father of the girls, has spoken out about the overwhelming grief that has consumed him. He recalled the moment he received the news, initially dismissing concerns from his mother, only to be met with the devastating reality later. Jonathan described his emotional rollercoaster, saying, “Sometimes you’re mad, sometimes you’re sad, and other times you’re so dissociated you don’t even feel like you’re there.”
The community has rallied around Jonathan, offering an outpouring of support and raising over $45,000 through a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses. Jonathan was deeply moved by the kindness of strangers, saying, “This is really the last thing I get to do for them.”
As the community mourns the loss of the three young sisters, Jonathan has chosen to use this tragedy as an opportunity to raise awareness about mental health. He urged parents to seek help when needed, saying, “If you are a parent and you have kids, and you need help, then get it.” Jonathan’s plea is a heartfelt attempt to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
