   (CBS News/AP) - WARNING: The 911 calls included in this story

   DOVER, N.Y. (CBS/AP) — What started out as a joyful reunion of a   
   young woman with her birth parents soon turned sour, then   
   shocking, and finally deadly.   
      
   A young woman named Katie married her birth father, had a baby   
   with him and, after she decided to leave him, lost her life to   
   him along with that of their child and her adoptive father. All   
   three were laid to rest this weekend in upstate New York.

   "We're all still in shock," said Shirley Mann, a neighbor of   
   Katie's adoptive parents in Dover. "It's crazy. I don't know   
   what else to say. It's horrible."   
      
   Katie, whose last name was Fusco at the time, had no idea before   
   she moved in with Steven Pladl and his wife in August 2016 that   
   he had an explosive temper, a history of abusive behavior and   
   owned at least four guns.   
      
   A very normal life   
      
   In 1995, Steven Pladl was 20 when he met a 15-year-old girl   
   named Alyssa on the internet. She soon became pregnant and gave   
   birth to a girl they named Denise.   
      
   Alyssa Pladl told The Associated Press in an interview last week   
   that they put the girl up for adoption when she was 8 months   
   old. They were young and poor, she said, but she also believed   
   Steven Pladl physically abused the baby. In her interview, she   
   did not elaborate.   
      
   "It was so hard to give her up," Alyssa said, "but I had to   
   because I wanted her to live and be happy."   
      
   For most of what was to be her short life, she was. Tony Fusco   
   and his wife, Kelly, adopted the girl they renamed Katie and   
   raised her with their biological daughter in Dover, about 80   
   miles north of New York City.   
      
   "They had a very, very normal life," said Cary Gould, Kelly   
   Fusco's brother. "My nickname for Katie was Pac-Man. She was   
   always eating. She loved animals. She was a vegetarian."   
      
   Katie was an aspiring artist known at Dover High School for   
   drawing comic strips. She planned to attend college and pursue a   
   career in digital advertising.   
      
   "A pen and something to draw on became a safe place for me," she   
   wrote in a blog post. "Ink became my weapon against rules and   
   regulations. ... To be short; for me, a life without art is no   
   life at all."   
      
   TIMELINE: Knightdale incest couple   
      
   After turning 18 in January 2016, Katie, who Gould said had been   
   told she was adopted, found her birth parents and messaged them.   
   The Pladls were happy to reunite with her.   
      
   Instead of going to college in August 2016, Katie moved in with   
   the Pladls in Henrico County, Virginia, that month. Tony and   
   Kelly Fusco were apprehensive, Gould said, but they thought   
   Katie was old enough to make her own decisions and supported her.   
      
   All was not well in the Pladl home. Steven and Alyssa had   
   already decided to separate and were sleeping in separate rooms.   
   Alyssa Pladl said she had suffered emotional and verbal abuse by   
   her husband for years.   
      
   "I was always on eggshells, whatever his mood was, everybody   
   knew, and that mood was often not happy, a lot of yelling, a lot   
   of things smashed in the house, in front of our kids," she said.

   Alyssa Pladl told Katie privately that Steven Pladl had abused   
   her as a baby and that a major reason for the adoption was her   
   own safety.   
      
   Katie, according to Alyssa, didn't appear to be concerned.   
      
   "We're in love."   
      
   Steven Pladl's behavior changed after he met Katie, Alyssa Pladl   
   said. He began wearing skinny jeans and form-fitting shirts. He   
   shaved his beard and let his hair grow long. About six weeks   
   after Katie moved in, Steven Pladl one night slept on the floor   
   in her room.   
      
   It immediately concerned Alyssa. After he did it again the next   
   night, she confronted him. He said it was none of her business   
   and stormed out of the house with Katie.   
      
   Alyssa Pladl finally moved out in November 2016, and she shared   
   custody of the two children with Steven Pladl.   
      
   In May 2017, she learned from her 11-year-old daughter's journal   
   of the incestuous relationship and Katie's pregnancy. Her   
   daughter wrote that she and her sister were told by Steven Pladl   
   to refer to Katie as their stepmother.   
      
   "I started to become hysterical, and I called him," she said. "I   
   said, 'Is Katie pregnant with your baby?' He just said, 'I   
   thought you knew. We're in love.'   
      
   "I started screaming," she said. "I was just cursing him out:   
   'How could you? You're sick. She's a child.'"   
      
   Then she called the police.   
      
   Incest charges
