The aunt of a missing woman whose son was killed in an apparent murder suicide by her former partner has branded the man as a ‘beast’, saying she is ‘devastated’.
Criste Wohlgemuth hit at out at George Scott III, son of the late legendary Boston Red Sox player George Scott, who was found dead at his home in Massachusetts on Friday morning with his son, Dante, in a suspected murder suicide.
In a post shared to Facebook, Wohlgemuth said: ‘Lisa Hazard will not return as we settle our hearts on the beast that stole her life and now her sons life.
‘Let the truth be told that b****** killed my gorgeous niece and now her handsome son.
‘I’m just devastated. Wish the police did the job they should of done from day one.’
Hazard, pictured here with her son Dante, had gone missing in March 2019 and according to reports Scott was a person of interest in the case

Wohlgemuth hit at out at Scott III who was found dead at his home in Massachusetts on Friday morning with his son, Dante, in a suspected murder suicide.
Scott, 53, was found dead shortly after 8 a.m. at his New Bedford, Massachusetts home when police had received a request to do a wellness check.
They arrived to both Scott and 8-year-old Dante’s bodies lying dead on the ground.
Scott III is the son of the late Boston Red Sox player George Scott, who hit 271 home runs across a 14-year career in the majors.
The younger Scott had tried to become a professional ballplayer as well, going through various minor league teams in the 1990s.
The 8-year-old boy is the son of Lisa Hazard, a woman who went missing back in March of 2019.
A spokesperson for the Bristol County DA said that Scott was considered a person of interest in her disappearance.
‘This, obviously, is a tragic situation that may be a development in the case but we’ve got to review the evidence in this case,’ Quinn said, referencing both cases.
Just two weeks earlier, the district attorney’s office had executed a search warrant at the same home.

In a Facebook post, her aunt said: ‘Let the truth be told that b****** killed my gorgeous niece and now her handsome son.’
According to a Facebook page hoping to find Hazard, she was last seen after leaving her mother’s home in Fall River on March 5, 2019.
‘This group was created in hopes that it will provide more information on Lisa and get her back home. It is very unlike of her to not contact her family, especially her son who is her whole world,’ the page said.
Family members said in 2019 that Hazard was in recovery from drug addiction but had become erratic.
‘She started missing important dates, like my mom’s birthday or her son’s birthday or Mother’s Day, and that’s really uncharacteristic of Lisa because she has always been all about the family, especially her son,’ her brother Steven told NBC 10 last October.
The man found dead with her 8-year-old son was not mentioned in the story.
Scott III was last heard from in 2021, when he was presenting an NFT collection that featured his father, a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
He’d also launched a Twitter page for a podcast called Boomer’s Base, referencing his late father’s nickname. No episodes appear to have been released.
