Joshua Ward is accused of gunning down his ex-girlfriend, Kelli Kramer, and her son, Aiden, inside their Burlington apartment in March Investigators say Ward had a relationship with the year-old woman from December May Sullivan said it was he who found the pair murdered when he went to their apartment.
A state medical examiner said Kramer was under the influence of methamphetamine at the time of her death and that Aiden also had trace amounts in his system but that it had nothing to do with the cause of death. During a police interrogation shortly after the slayings, Ward, a self-proclaimed polygamist, said he welcomed Kelli and Aiden into his family of women.

They further called former friend Paul Sauer who admitted to having a sexual relationship with Kramer and to also to giving her money. See a spelling or grammar error in our story?
