Im guessing its to fill in gaps in order to:
-confirm they've got the right guy charged and the only guy
-eliminate any holes that the defence could argue lead to reasonable doubt
The amber alert was first issued for only the grandfather and the child. Its possible that evidence suggested that the grandmother couldn't have survived an attack that occurred at the house. No bodies have been found yet. We don't know whose blood was found at the house. What if its only the grandmothers? Maybe the other two were killed elsewhere or in a more tidy manner that didn't leave evidence?
Or, defence counsel could argue that the grandfather was responsible for the grandmothers death and he also abducted the child and then fled to Mexico. Maybe the grandfather wasn't supposed to flee but something went wrong, maybe the currently accused was involved in some manner or not, maybe an insurance was a payout motive, maybe the kid was supposed to be an alibi but saw something he wasn't supposed to.
I wonder if there is physical evidence that strongly suggests that all three were attacked and couldn't have survived their attacks (such as amount of blood lost, brain matter, etc). If theres evidence only one person was attacked, I could see that opening up a lot of holes in the case.
I really want to see that the police and crown get the right suspect and get a conviction against them.

We can't know why the police are going there to investigate, because they're not telling us. Do the alleged moving plans factor into the motivation to kill them at that time, or is this just a coincidence?
This is conjecture, but they could be going there to interview people to find out if their arrival in Mexico was expected, and if so, when. It could fill a few holes, or verify or refute other evidence.
