What a horrible story! What goes in the mind of certain people to commit such horrendous crimes against their own children? This is so sad.

HUDSON OAKS, Texas (AP) -- A young mother who may have been depressed apparently hanged three of her small daughters and herself in a closet using pieces of clothing and sashes, authorities said Tuesday. A fourth child, an 8-month-old daughter, was also found dangling in the closet but was rescued from the family's mobile home. "It's horrendous. That's all I can say," Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said. (Watch the sheriff describe the horrific scene inside the mobile home Video) The woman was identified as Gilberta Estrada, 25. The infant, Evelyn Frayre, was in good condition at a hospital, Fowler said. Authorities did not immediately identify the other children, ages 5, 3 and 2. After Estrada failed to show up for work, her sister, who lived nearby, forced her way into the locked residence in the Oak Hills mobile home park, about 25 miles west of Fort Worth in this rural community of 1,600 people. The sheriff said the sister rescued the infant when she realized the baby girl was still alive. The sheriff said the hangings appeared to be murder-suicide because the trailer's doors were locked from the inside and a relative said the woman had been depressed. The young mother and her girls were last seen alive Monday evening, he said. 'Today it's just sad' The sheriff said Estrada had won a temporary restraining order in August against Gregorio Frayre Rodriguez, who was believed to be the father of the infant and some of the other children, after an attack on Estrada. The sheriff said Estrada and Rodriguez had stopped living together in February. Tuesday was the first emergency police call to Estrada's trailer, and authorities said there was no evidence that Rodriguez abused the girls... |

Such sorrow, maybe she reached the point of no return and had a total mental break down. It is amazing that an eight month old could withstand such brutality, it obviously was not her time. I wonder what the father thinks about this?
One part I am not sure I got... it was videotaped? That is sadistic really, maybe even vengeful? Or maybe she wanted to ensure the father was not blamed for their deaths?

No, it was not videotaped. CNN is just saying if you want to watch their video about the case.
