People indicate that the police do not know the reasons that could have led Henning to commit the crime. Al Roechner, Joliet's police chief, said: "We really don't know why a person could murder their two beloved daughters like this and put the gun to them." Also, Roechner explained that it is very hard because they wished they could have avoided what happened.

For their part, Dennis Henning, the girls' paternal grandfather, described Celisa in the Daily SouthTown newspaper as a "deranged" person and said she apparently had health problems. Dennis also explained that his son had been trying to communicate with Celisa and the girls during the day. However, it was not until 3:30 pm that he arrived at his home and found himself lifeless. Henning told People that his son is still in mourning.
