Statement of a Female Serial Killer
Statement regarding the murder of one of her children.
Interviewer: So when you were, you know, ready to do this thing, what was going through your head?
Female Killer: All I knew was that I was gonna do this thing, and there wasn’t anybody gonna stop me.I thought about it a lot, how I was gonna do it. The first one, the one I was charged with, I watched her sleeping before I…her mouth was open, and I put my hand over like this (displays putting hand over the girl’s nose and mouth). It was warm, you know, her breath on my hand. She kicked a couple of times, but I held her down because she was so little. I can’t remember nothing after that.
Interviewer: Was there anything on her, like marks on anything someone could see?
Female Killer: No. I was good at not leaving no marks. It wasn’t hard because they were so little. It was like they were sleeping, and all I had to do was…that’s all I remember.
