Rachel Henry, accused of killing 3 kids, smothered them while singing
I view this as yet another indicator of just how screwed up so many people are and why there is a great need for society to have services and help for people who are struggling or in despair. They say she just moved to Arizona from Oklahoma and that she had a problem with meth.
Sad story. I don't know what gets into some people. Why would a mother kill her own children?
PHOENIX – The 22-year-old mother accused of killing her three children in Phoenix sang to her children as she smothered them to death, according to court records.
Rachel Henry was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder Monday after she admitted to killing her three children under the age of 4, police said.
Police initially said her son was 3 years old and her daughters were 2 years old and 7 months old, but a probable cause document released Tuesday night says the girls were 1 year old and 7 months old.
The document recounted how Henry allegedly smothered the three children one by one before lining up their bodies. However, it doesn’t provide a possible motive for the brutal killing.

Henry placed the bodies of the three children on the living room floor as though they were taking a nap, the report says. She didn't tell the father or her aunt what happened.
A female called 911 to report the three children were found dead at around 7:20 p.m., according to the probable cause statement. It's not clear whether that was Henry or the other female in the home.
Both Henry and the father of the children were transported to the Phoenix police station to be interviewed. At some point, police said Henry admitted to killing the children.
Family members told police Henry, who has a history of methamphetamine addiction, had been “acting strange” the past several days.
