London McCabe was found
about a mile from the span.
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.
