Its often helpful to hear the story behind the story. As we all know, the man who drove off the Atwater Park Bluff committed a very high profile suicide. (Fox 6 doesn't normally cover suicides UNLESS its something that is done in a way that draws attention or puts other people's lives at risk).
Wednesday night, we were able to hear why a Wauwatosa man drove off that bluff, from his daughters and step daughters. Their explanation certainly doesn't justify what the man did, especially considering other people could have been hurt, and they acknowledge that. But it does lend some perspective to a news event that certainly caputured a lot of attention.
