Deaths of North Texas mom, baby son ruled homicides

Authorities say the deaths of a North Texas mother and her 3-month-old son have been ruled homicides after their necks were cut. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports (http://bit.ly/2gZp2yU ) the deaths of 36-year-old Shanna Vandewege and her son, Diederick, remain under investigation. Police say investigators are not specifically looking at any one person as a suspect at this time. Their bodies were discovered Thursday night. Fort Worth police went to the house after receiving a call from Saginaw police reporting a man had arrived at the home and found the woman and child dead. Mark Riddle, Shanna Vandewege’s father, said his daughter worked as a registered nurse at an area hospital but was still on maternity leave. Shanna Vandewege and her husband had moved to Fort Worth from Colorado this year.
