An unthinkable story unfolding in the Northeast this week. According to police, 49-year-old Jeanette MacAusland admitted to strangling her 6 and 7 year old children. MacAusland reportedly tried and failed to kill herself afterwards, instead she drove 3 hours to a relative’s home, where police say she confessed to the crime. MacAusland is in the middle of a divorce and custody battle, but nothing about the situation pointed to this violet ending. In fact, MacAusland is described by friends and neighbors as a loving mother who they never believed could be capable of such a horrific crime.
