News about Andrea Yates

A new book has lifted the lid on what drives a mother to murder, examining some of the most notorious cases. But what happened to these women after they were sentenced, and where are they now? Are any of them walking free?

Casey Anthony, a woman suspected of murdering Jorge Carreno (top inset), and Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children, were among the nine female killers (right). The picture had been downloaded to the 25-year-old's phone, as well as a caption titled "First Date With Me" that included pictures of duct tape, a knife, cord, and a handgun (bottom inset). When she was arrested in August 2023, police discovered the videos and some others of strangulation from one of two phones used by Blake. In July 2021, she is accused of stalking and killing 30-year-old Mr Carreno.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in 2001 in Houston, Texas. Lindsay Clancy's attorneys say she was suffering the same postpartum psychosis that caused her to murder her three children. 'If I were driving our Suburban down the street and had a heart attack and swerved into oncoming traffic and everyone in the car died but me, would they prosecute me for capital murder and rub my face in crime scene photos?Of my children? I don't think so.' But Rusty says it's 100% the same to me. Clancy was convicted of suicide in court yesterday using Zoom from her hospital bed. She is ill after attempting to kill herself by removing from a top-floor window in the house.
