Investigators noted that Joshua deliberately orchestrated the shattering event. He placed little Riker on the couch, disappeared into a different room to load his rifle, and returned only to fire the fatal shot at his son.
Despite cooperating with the police following his arrest, Joshua never provided a clear motive for his abominable act. Speculations arose that Joshua may have been planning this horrifying act for as long as a month. A contributing factor that might have instigated him was a recent breakup with Riker's mother, Amanda Pilling.
Their tumultuous relationship was confirmed by relatives. Joshua, who supposedly grappled with depression, was also described as domineering. Family members alleged that he possibly felt compelled to reassert his authority when he sensed a loss of control.
