In March, Sesler told deputies he shot and killed his mother, father and brother at their Waller County home in the 1600 block of Farr Street. The three victims were Lawton Sesler, his wife, Rhonda, and their 25-year-old son, Mark. 

Waller Police Chief Phil Rehak described the inside of the house as a "war zone," and said it's evident a violent crime took place.   

After the murders, Sesler's neighbor talked about his strange behavior seen in many videos he posted on YouTube.
