An Oklahoma City family is grieving the heartbreaking loss of 18-month-old twins, Locklyn and Loreli, who drowned after wandering into their backyard pool. The tragedy occurred when their great-grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, accidentally left the back door open, allowing the toddlers to slip outside unnoticed.
Their mother, 37-year-old Jenny Callazzo, a stay-at-home mom and boutique owner, discovered the children unconscious in the pool on a Thursday morning. Despite immediate emergency response, both were pronounced dead two hours later.
Jenny lives in the home with her husband, Sonny, a marketing executive, their six children, and her grandmother. Aerial footage revealed a pool covered in algae, raising concerns about safety and supervision. Police do not suspect foul play but are continuing their investigation.
The community has rallied around the family, launching a GoFundMe to assist with expenses. Neighbors described the devastating scene as paramedics worked to revive the twins, with Jenny visibly distraught.
Experts stress the importance of water safety for young children. Laura Gamino of OU Health recommends secure, 4-foot pool fencing to prevent similar tragedies.
As Oklahoma mourns Locklyn and Loreli, their story serves as a painful reminder of the need for constant vigilance around water and vulnerable family members.
