Interview Describes Mother’s Killing Spree
The m other who alleg ed ly
drowned her five children one by one
in a bathtub told police the oldest
one tried to escape but she chased
him through the house, the Houston
Chronicle reported Friday.
In the videotaped interview with
police. Andrea Yates described how
she methodically killed the children
June 20, the newspaper said. It quoted
an unidentified police investigator
as saying she spoke in a “zombie-like
fashion.”
Yates, a former nurse, told police
that 2-year-old Luke was the first
child to be drowned, followed by
Paul, 3, and John, 5. After each child
died, Yates recounted on the video
tape, she carried their bodies into a
bedroom, put them on a bed and
covered them with a sheet.
She said 7-year-old Noah walked
into the bathroom and saw her hold
ing the youngest child, 6-month-old
Mary.
“What's wrong with Mary?” Noah
asked his mother, according to the
account.
Yates told police she chased Noah
through the house, dragged him back
to the bathroom and drowned him
next to Mary, the investigator told
the newspaper.
Noah’s body was found in the
bathtub, the others in a bedroom.
The 36-year-old m other was
charged late Wednesday with one
count ofcapital murder, but that could
change after more investigation.
A ssistant D istrict Attorney Joe
Owmby said Friday. No decision has
been made about whether to seek the
death penalty, he said.
Yates appeared briefly in court
Friday, her arms folded and wearing
an orange jumpsuit, and said she
could not afford a lawyer. State Dis
trict Judge Belinda Hill told her an
attorney would be appointed for her.
“This is the most horrendous thing
that I have ever seen,” said Owmby,
a 15-yearprosecutorwhosaidhehas
handled a dozen capital murder cases.
“I mean, we have five children at
the morgue,” he told CNN.
Preliminary results from autopsies
conducted Thursday indicate the
children drowned, Harris County
Medical Examiner Dr. Joye Carter
said.
There's no wrong decision when you choose to save
energy. And, since compact fluorescents use 70% less
energy than regular bulbs, it's a smart choice. So dig that
coupon out of your PGE statement (or have the hired help
do it for you), and start making your castle more energy-
efficient. Because we all have the power to help.
