Wife murdered alongside 6 kids accused killer husband of affair with younger intern in explosive online posts: report

A wife who was murdered alongside her six children by her husband had accused him of having an affair with a younger intern in explosive Reddit posts, according to a report.Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, fatally shot the children — ages 5 to 15 — and his wife, Amanda “Mandy” Karolkiewicz, 39, at their Grand Haven Township, Mich.home before setting it on fire and then turning the gun on himself, according to police.Just two years ago, Mandy Karolkiewicz wrote on Reddit under the username MandyK1179, that she was “living in a Hallmark Movie,” — but other posts offered a darker glimpse into her married life and husband’s alleged infidelity, the Detroit News reported.In one 2024 post seen by the outlet, she described how she first met her older husband while she was working as an intern.“He was divorced and older than me … fast forward ten years and five kids, he was cheating with the intern again — the same age I was when I was the intern,” Karolkiewicz wrote.“After about a year of self-loathing, I remember crying and looking at myself in the mirror and realizing how … I was the one who was living so miserably because of what he did,” she said.“I finally realized that I had been the only person who has ever showed up for myself my whole entire life.”If it wasn’t for the six children they shared — two of whom are adopted — she would have left him, she wrote.“I kept telling myself, ‘I love my kids more than I hate my husband right now.’ They have no idea — I faked it ’till we made it.

We’re in a much better place 4.5 years out, but it’s still a fight to stay in a healthy place.”...
