   On July 20, 2017, two months after his divorce from Alyssa was   
   finalized and amid the police investigation, Steven Pladl   
   married Katie in Parkton, Maryland. They lied on their   
   application, saying they were unrelated, according to records.   
      
   Katie's adoptive parents posed for a photo on the wedding day   
   along with Steven, Katie and Steven's mother. Katie wears a   
   short black dress.   
      
   Tony and Kelly Fusco thought there was nothing they could do and   
   had decided it was best to support Katie, Gould said.   
      
   Katie gave birth to Bennett on Sept. 1. She and Steven moved to   
   a house on a cul-de-sac in Knightdale, North Carolina, just east   
   of Raleigh, but wedded bliss did not last long. They were   
   arrested on incest charges in January. A judge ordered them to   
   not contact each other, and Steven Pladl's mother has custody.   
      
   Steven Pladl's lawyer, Rick Friedman II, said there was never an   
   allegation that Steven Pladl pressured Katie into a relationship.   
      
   "This case is an 18-year-old girl who shows up at the doorstep   
   of a 40-year-old man who's going through difficult times with   
   his wife," Friedman said. "They have a bond because they're   
   biologically related, but they never knew each other before they   
   had a sexual relationship. He was head over heels in love with   
   her, so much so that that outweighed the issue of them being   
   biologically related."   
      
   After the arrests, Katie moved back with Tony and Kelly Fusco,   
   who declined to comment for this article. Every Tuesday and   
   Thursday, she would travel to her adoptive grandmother's home in   
   Waterbury, Connecticut, Gould said.   
      
   On April 12, a Thursday, Katie and Tony Fusco left the Dover   
   home for Waterbury. In a minivan nearby, Steven Pladl watched   
   them leave, surveillance video shows.

   Minutes later in nearby New Milford, witnesses reported someone   
   opening fire. Katie and Tony Fusco, 56, were fatally shot.   
   Steven Pladl was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot   
   back in Dover.   
      
   911 call from Steven Pladl's mother   
      
   In that 911 call, obtained by WNCN, Steven's mother told the   
   dispatcher her son said he had killed the baby.   
      
   "He left the baby dead," the caller said. "He told me to call   
   the police and I shouldn't go over there."   
      
   The caller then said Steven admitted to killing his wife and her   
   adoptive father, the station reports.   
      
   "His wife broke up with him yesterday over the phone," Steven's   
   mother said in a 911 recording. "She's in New York and he told   
   me he was on his way and after bringing the baby to her and then   
   he was coming back."   
      
   "I can't even believe this is happening," Steven's mother told   
   authorities, according to a 911 call transcript from which her   
   name was redacted. Her son, she said, was upset because Katie,   
   by then just 20, had broken up with him.   
      
   911 call from witness to double-murder in Connecticut   
      
   Police found the baby dead and alone in Katie and Steven's home.   
      
   Alyssa Pladl struggles to make sense of it all.   
      
   "I'm grieving. I'm sad. I'm upset," she said. "But I also want   
   to have something good come out of this. If it's to get truth   
   out there, to open people's eyes to incest."
