The day the Short family was found murdered in their home I saw the story on the news. I didn't feel like going down another rabbit hole so I didn't even do a search on what Mr. Short did for a living. After a half dozen followers have now sent me the articles I could not help but look. It didn't really come as a surprise when I saw he owned a high traffic health social networking website.

My heart goes out to all friends and family, and I sat here all evening deciding whether to do a story on this, but the very first time I saw the CNN video (see youtube video above) as to what allegedly happened - I just felt something wasn't "quite right" Apparently my readers and followers of the website agreed. We'll just stick with the facts (like usual) like I have with the holistic doctors stories I broke along with the 29 poisoned holistic doctors who survived (yes, German news confirmed some were doctors) and naturopaths at a holistic health conference.

Brian Short was the founder of a very high traffic website called AllNurses.com with millions of unique visitors a month. You can look at the video on the site to see how it linked other nurses together so that they could network and share information. (If anyone has other information on this please contact me - the easiest way is to send me a message to my Facebook page. You can send me tips there as well on any stories, as that's how I end up with much of my work that I end up publishing.

From the Yahoo article about the Short family:
The founder of a social networking service for nurses used a shotgun to kill his wife and three children before turning the gun on himself, police said Saturday after the release of autopsy reports.

Investigators believe Brian Short killed his wife, Karen, and their three teenage children in their Greenwood home late Monday or early Tuesday, Mike Siitari, the interim chief of the South Lake Minnetonka's police department, told The Associated Press.

"All evidence indicates Brian Short killed his family members in their bedrooms before turning the gun on himself," the department said in a news release.

Officers found the dead family members Thursday during a welfare check at their home. A co-worker of Brian Short told police they hadn't been heard from in days. The children hadn't reported to school since it resumed on Tuesday.

Police found Karen Short, 48, and the three children — Cole, 17, Madison, 15, and Brooklyn, 14 — dead in their bedrooms. Brian Short, 45, was found dead in the home's eight-car garage.

The Hennepin County medical examiner ruled Saturday that all five died from shotgun wounds to the head and that only Brian Short's wound was self-inflicted.

No motive has been discovered and no further information will be released this weekend, the police department statement said.
So there is no motive, the article says that they purchased the 2 million dollar home back in 2011 and no mention of money problems and the site had high traffic. We'll wait for the investigation is complete to comment further, but just bringing you the facts for now.

Again, heart goes out to family and loved ones of the family of this brutal crime.
