Just days before their murder, Mandy Karolkiewicz took two of her adoptive daughters on a trip to China, visiting places like Shanghai Disneyland Park and Hangzhou.
Meanwhile, her husband, Kristopher, presumably stayed back in the States with their other four children.
It appears Mandy and the girls returned home around July 18th. Just days later, on July 24th… the family of eight was found dead. Several of them had gunshot wounds.
