Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil for the child. “The fall did not kill Lon- don,” Lincoln County District Attorney Michelle Branam said Tuesday. “He suffered broken bones from the impact of the fall and ultimately drowned.” After her arrest, rela- tives said McCabe struggled with mental illness while try- ing to care for London and for her husband, Matt McCabe, who was ailing from multiple sclerosis. But Branam said the kill- ing was done with much calcu- lation, and prosecutors believe she faked symptoms of men- tal illness when it suited her purpose. “Everyone hopes it can be e[plained by way of men- tal illness so we don’t have to leave open the possibility that a mother could plan to so hor- ri¿ cally murder her child,” Bra- nam said. In the weeks before killing her son, McCabe did e[ten- sive Internet research on ways to murder the child, and how to get away with it by using an insanity defense.
