Similar incident
In January 2020, a mother from Arizona was arrest after she killed her three young children one by one. According to the AZ Family, the murderer, Rachel Henry, smothered all three children and sang to them as she covered their mouths and noses.
Henry is facing three counts of first-degree murder and is being held on a $3 million bond. The prosecutors requested the large bond because she does not have real ties to Arizona, as she moved to Phoenix from Oklahoma in 2019, and her children had been taken away from her due to her meth addiction.
The victims, 3-year-old Zane Henry, 1-year-old Miraya Henry, and 7-month-old Catalaya Rios, were all found dead inside the family's home.
Rachel Henry began with Miraya as she placed her hand over her daughter's mouth. Her son Zane tried to stop her and punched her to no avail.
When Miraya stopped kicking, she turned to her son and chased him but was interrupted when their relatives returned home. She then took the 3-year-old into a back bedroom where she changed his underpants. She placed him on the floor of the bedroom, straddled him and placed her hand over his nose and mouth.
Rachel then moved to her infant daughter, fed her until the baby fell asleep. She sang her a song and placed her hand over her face and mouth.
After killing all three children, she put them in a position on the couch in their living room, as if they were taking a nap. She did not tell any family member about what happened.
Police were called to the home after the family members discovered that the children were dead. Henry was arrested and booked into jail. According to the police, postpartum depression might have been a factor for the crime.
