[@tyy.3064]

This poor father…you can see in his eyes and hear it in his voice how much he loves his daughter. Prayers for you, sir. I hope one day you can find some peace in this horrific tragedy. Sending my love and prayers to all the families.

[@heavenleeangeltalk8471]

This poor daddy. God, please bring him peace in his heart 🙏

[@84bab]

Its so heartbreaking that was his only daughter too 😭💔

[@JanetClough-dy5kd]

He loved his daughter and she loved her daddy.

[@adelitabriano4423]

Yes. His eyes glow and that smile shines as he talks about his beautiful daughter. ❤

[@robertbeining141]

To the Reporter, your questions were so relevant and delivered with genuineness and compassion. Such a heartbreaking story to cover. So proud of the parents for honoring their children and finding grace and light in their memory.

[@SprucedandGussied]

This was such a great interview with Maddie's Dad. Sending him lots of love, light and prayers as he navigates through his grief and so glad to see that he's doing the best he can. Maddie truly takes after him, same eyes! Great to see him light up and smile as he remembers and talks about her.

What a beautiful conversation. I feel for Maddie's parents as she was their only child. I'm so happy they came up with Maddie May Day. What a beautiful way to give back and in such a beautiful way. Hugs and prayers for all the parents. The deaths of Ethan, Kaylee, Maddie and Xana were a senseless act. Stay strong. Your angels are constantly watching over you.

[@kimallistonseekeroftruth]

Amen, Amen,Amen, so very sad. Dear Lord please bring justice to fruition for Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chaplin, and Xana Kernodle 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@margadam6358]

What an absolutely sweet man, it is easy to know where she got her sweet spirit. He’s certainly doing his best, it’s not easy to lose a child especially this way.

[@mylittlegarden007]

What a lovely tribute to Maddie. I hope her dad gets strength from being the father to such a lovely young lady.

[@Harley57]

He breaks my heart every time I hear him. God bless him & all the families, I can’t imagine how they feel especially today. 🙏

[@catylynch7909]

May 25th was my Mom's birthday. Now, when I remember Mom, I'll include memories of Maddie.

[@magdalenaisabel9683]

He raised a beautiful soul that is always going to be with him. Maddie May accomplished more in her short 21 yrs of life through her love and kindness towards all who had the privilege of getting to know her than most ppl accomplish in a lifetime. May her light, love, and kindness continue to touch the lives and hearts of others forever.

[@sarahmooney165]

I am a parent and I can not even begin to imagine the depth of your pain and loss. You could have went down a dangerous spiral but instead you choose to remember your sweet girl and do good. You and your family are in my prayers and I have no doubt your beautiful angel is smiling down her love on you.

[@cheriebakertv]

He's such a soft soul. She will always be with him. She has his eyes and smile.

[@hatersgonnahate6222]

[@KayInMaine]

What an amazing loving dad. Maddie was well loved in life and now! So sweet. I hate that this has happened to Ben Mogen and all the dads and moms.

[@thewanderingorphan]

I’m tearing up. I hope he feels so full of pride for raising such a wonderful girl.

[@retro51fan]

Poor man… 😢 My heart goes out to him and his family, as well as the families of Ethan, Kaylee and Xana. May they all get the justice they deserve.

[@sarahkennedy43]

I am so very sorry for your loss of your precious beautiful angel Maddie mae!!!! I did not know any of them but as a mother of 4 it breaks my heart to think about what these families are going through and I hope that one day very soon these families see justice done to the person responsible for their children's death. You are all in my thought and in my prayers!!!!! I also send you all my love to during this horrific time in your lives.

[@deadlyqueens]

This kind of pain is unimaginable. It's hard enough to lose a child. But to murder?? No one deserves that

[@markandpumpkin]

This is absolutely heartbreaking, I know the feelings all to well after my sister was killed in 2018, I pray that four victims family’s will get thru the long hard grieving process, Ever though we never truly get thru it we learn to live in a different way Rest easy 🕊️

[@angelagazzo9976]

There is something really wrong with this case. The girl that opened her door and saw the man and spoke with him said she closed her door and was scared. Ok I get that but why wait till the afternoon of the next day to call police. What about that min that night.

[@juliedurlak]

Crying my eyes out. All the way in Australia 😭😭😭😭 so devastating.

[@hellenkristinabilling6987]

His eyes says everything 😢 so sorry for his lost. ❤

[@CKing-388]

It’s really important that if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues and you believe them to be a threat to themselves or to others. Make sure you call law enforcement.

What a kind man and great interview. Justice for them all!❤

He looks so shattered and haunted. Maddie was such a sweet, lovely young woman. The murderer destroyed many more people , like a thrown stone causes widening ripples in a river. I pray her Dad has comforting people around him. ⚘️🩷⚘️

It’s not fair. You raise your children and put all your hopes into them just to have some psychopathic monster come along in the cowardly darkness of night and snuff them out.
