A Texas father has been arrested in the double-murder of his wife and infant son, who were found dead Dec. 15 with their throats slit, PEOPLE confirms.

A Fort Worth police press release states Craig Vandewege was arrested in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Wednesday for allegedly speeding and not having proof of insurance after a citizen told police he was acting suspiciously.

On Dec. 15, Fort Worth police found the dead bodies of Shanna Vandewege, 36, and the couple’s 3-month-old son, Diederick, in the master bedroom with apparent knife wounds to their necks, authorities have said. They died from having their “necks cut,” and their deaths were ruled homicides, a Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office spokeswoman told PEOPLE.

Homicide detectives subsequently interviewed Vandegege about the slayings, but Vandewege “denied any knowledge of this heinous offense,” the release states.

I figured he did it as soon as I read about the wife and child being found.
