Sueppel was released on $250,000 bond and ordered to submit to drug testing and restricted from keeping a firearm, according to federal court documents. He also could not hold a job that involved the handling of money or financial information.
The murder-suicide has ripped open the small Iowa city, where Sueppel's family is well known in the business and education communities.
Sueppel's family released a statement Monday evening seeking privacy and thanking members of the community whose offers of help poured in throughout the day.
"These families provided love and emotional support to Steven, Sheryl and their children throughout their lives, and particularly during the past few difficult months," the family statement reads.
"They have all tried to remain alert for signs of particular stress, and observed none."
