In the quiet town of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, a tragedy unfolded that cut short the life of 14-year-old Crystal Grey Kaser. On a Tuesday in February 2021, the young female, known to her loved ones as Grey, was found deceased in her home alongside her 19-year-old sister, Clarissa, in a devastating act of violence that shook the community.
The events of that day began to unravel when the girls' mother, who was at work, received a distressing phone call from her husband, 56-year-old David
Kaser. During the call, he made threats to harm their children. The mother's worst fears were amplified when she heard what she believed to be a gunshot over the phone before the line went dead. She immediately contacted the police, pleading with them to check on her daughters' welfare at their home on South Walnut Creek Drive.
Upon arriving at the residence, law enforcement was met with a grim scene. Inside, they discovered the bodies of Crystal Grey Kaser and her sister, Clarissa. A preliminary investigation determined that both sisters had been fatally shot. The suspect in their deaths was their own father, David Kaser, who was also found deceased at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities quickly identified the incident as a double murder-suicide. While investigators believe they ascertained a motive for the horrific act and shared it with the family, they chose not to release that information to the public. In the aftermath, the community mourned the loss of the two sisters. Crystal was remembered as a creative and caring individual who excelled in Spanish and art. Her interests were varied, ranging from physical fitness and fashion design to skateboarding and social activism. Those who knew her described her as influential, strong, and brave. The tragic event left a void in the lives of her family and friends, who were left to cherish the memories of the love and good times they had shared.
