According to to According to the Niagara Gazette, state park police said Thursday (Oct. 31) that they reviewed security footage in the area and were able to confirm some gruesome details.

Authorities were asked if Means was stalking her children, to which state police public information officer James O’Callaghan said, “No, we believe it was intentional.

“I’m not going to go into what the witnesses saw because the case is still ongoing, but what they told us is alarming.”

It is reported that Means wrote several posts on Facebook directed at her daughter’s father in the weeks before their deaths.

In a Facebook post last month, she wrote: “I wish someone would do this love me, because the man who should do it doesn’t.”

A few days later, she again appeared on the podium, writing: “Sick with irritation, anger, sadness and anger.”

The day before she died, she wrote: “Unfortunately for everyone who wants to be with me… my body only craves one person. GM”.

Speaking on Thursday (October 30), New York State Rep police said in an interview with WKBW TV: “We’ve come to the conclusion that a 33-year-old mother, a nine-year-old son, and then a five-month-old baby all fell over the falls.

“We believe it was intentional, but the circumstances of this investigation and the circumstances of what actually happened are still being investigated.

“But we know they went because of information from the park police and some of the information we were able to get from many different sources in and around Niagara Falls and some of the evidence we were able to find in the search warrants.”

They continued: “They went there, but they never came out. This is where we are. (…) Like I said, the state park has a lot of safety railings, a lot of safety measures, so it’s not something they just happened to happen to.”
