About this episode
True Crime Tuesday presents Killer Moms: True Stories with Researcher/Author. Amanda R. Woomer! A mother is supposed to be loving, protective, caring, and kind. She’s supposed to nurture and guide her children from infancy into childhood and adolescence. The very thought of murdering a child—much less their own child—is not only bizarre but perhaps the most disturbing thought a parent could have! Exploring the ultimate betrayal of a mother’s duty, Killer Moms: True Stories recounts 31 harrowing tales of motherhood gone wrong, including … Rachel David , who believed she was married to God. Andrea Yates , who systemically executed each of her five children by drowning them. Magda Goebbels , one of the most powerful women in Nazi Germany, the propaganda minister’s wife and a Hitler favorite. The ambiguous Casey Anthony case, whose acquittal shocked the public. Melissa Drexler , aka “The Prom Mom,” who hid her pregnancy from everyone. Rosemary West , one of England’s most notorious serial killers. Lindsey Nicole Blansett , whose solution to ensuring her children wouldn’t suffer in the future was to make sure they did not have a future. Nannie Doss , the “Giggling Granny,” who managed to murder four generations of her family in a killing spree that lasted 30 years. Angela Camacho , who helped her husband murder her three young children because he believed they were possessed by witches. On today's Show, Amanda R. Woomer, Author of Killer Moms: True Stories joins us to talk about why women have not only more parental and societal pressures put upon them, but why those pressures then force them to turn on their own children. We talk about specific cases as well as motives for murdering their children!
