An unthinkable tragedy has destroyed a family.
Over the weekend, preteen Addi Smith and her mother, Tawnia McGeehan were on a trip for Addi’s cheerleading team.
They didn’t show to the cheer meet. No one was able to get a hold of them.
Police found the mother and daughter dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Our hearts go out to Addi’s loved ones
On Sunday, February 15, authorities made a grim discovery at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Mom Tawnia McGeehan and her preteen daughter, Addi Smith, were in the city for a cheer meet.
Addi was part of Utah Xtreme Cheer.
When she did not show up (and her mother did not call) for the competition, her teammates were worried.
From the information at hand, it appears that parents or others with the cheerleading team reached out to other family in search of answers.
Tawnia and Addi’s family were unable to contact them.
Worried, they reached out to authorities and made repeated requests for police to conduct a welfare check on the mother and daughter.
At around 10:45am on Sunday morning, officers and hotel security at the Rio Hotel & Casino visited the room.
There, police uncovered a tragic scene.
They found the bodies of both Tawnia and Addi. Additionally, they found an apparent suicide note.
Police have only disclosed certain details thus far
Both Tawnia and Addi had died by gunshot wounds.
(It remains unclear if anyone in the hotel heard gunshots or reported them)
A homicide investigation is ongoing.
However, based upon their findings, investigators believe that this was a murder-suicide.
They believe that Tawnia fatally shot her daughter on Saturday night and then killed herself.
The cheer team themselves announced the tragedy — in part — in a public statement.
“With the heaviest hearts, we share the devastating news that our sweet athlete Addi has passed away,” the statement shared.
“We are completely heartbroken,” the cheer team expressed. “No words do the situation justice.”
Speaking of Addi, they affirmed: “She was so beyond loved, and she will always be a part of the UXC family.”
The statement did not delve into Tawnia’s passing. Given the alleged circumstances, that is understandable.
What could prompt a murder-suicide like this?
Investigators are likely speaking to family today (and all this week) alongside classmates, school counselors, hotel staff, and fellow cheerleaders.
There is so much that we do not know. And we do need to emphasize that, even if murder-suicide is apparently the likely explanation, sometimes crime scenes (and notes found at them) are misleading.
If you have ever known someone who had a tragedy like this in their family, you know that all that it takes is a heated argument, a loss of control, and easy access to a gun.
It seems unlikely that Tawnia planned this for the trip. (Family annihilators might plan a family trip in advance before a deliberate crime, but it likely wouldn’t be to a hotel in the middle of a city)
This is a heartbreaking and devastating tragedy. Addi was so young. And her friends and other loved ones are grappling with shock.
For most of her peers, she is likely the first person they have known who has been murdered — and perhaps their first friend who has died.

We have sad news to report out of Hollywood today.
Screen legend Robert Duvall has passed away at the age of 95.
News of Duvall’s death comes courtesy of a Facebook post from his wife, Luciana.
“Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort,” she wrote, adding:
“To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court.
“For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all.
“Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind.”
It’s impossible to overstate Duvall’s impact on American cinema.
From certified classics like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now to comedies like Four Christmases and TV miniseries like Lonesome Dove, Duvall forged a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most skilled and versatile actors.
Born in San Diego in 1931, Duvall started his career in various 1950s television anthology series.
He moved on to Broadway and made his film debut as Boo Radley in 1960’s To Kill a Mockingbird.
He gained his first widespread critical acclaim for his work in the 1970 comedy M*A*S*H.
Over the five decades that followed, Duvall became one of the most acclaimed actors in film history, winning one Academy Award (for 1983’s Tender Mercies) and being nominated for six others.
He also won an Emmy (for 2007’s Broken Trail) and four Golden Globes.
Duvall met his fourth wife, Luciana, in 2005 during a trip to Argentina.
“The flower shop was closed, so I went to the bakery. If the flower shop had been open, I never would’ve met her,” he told Esquire in 2010.
Duvall admitted that he had reservations about the fact that Luciana was 41 years his junior.
“So I asked Wilford Brimley about it. Wilford is a very sharp guy. He used to be a bodyguard for Howard Hughes,” he recalled in the same interview.
“He said, ‘Let me tell you something, my friend, the worst thing in the world for an old man is an old woman!’”
Our thoughts go out to Robert Duvall’s loved ones as they mourn his loss and honor his legacy.
