In the weeks before the tragedy, social media posts reportedly appeared on an account associated with Means under the name Diamond Scott. Several of the messages referred to emotional struggles and her relationship with her daughter’s father.
One post expressed a desire to be loved, while another said she wanted her family back. Other messages reflected feelings of sadness, frustration and emotional distress.
The posts later received renewed attention as investigators worked to understand what had happened.
At the time, authorities conducted extensive search and recovery efforts involving multiple agencies. Police also stated that the children’s father was not suspected of involvement in the deaths.
The tragedy left relatives, members of the local community and those who had followed the family searching for answers.
Rather than providing a complete explanation of what happened, the social media posts offered only a glimpse into the difficult period Means appeared to be experiencing before her death.
Her story remains a deeply tragic reminder that signs of emotional distress can sometimes appear publicly without revealing the full circumstances a person is facing.
