I read an article yesterday about Emily Castro, Ariel's daughter, that I can't find now. This one from the Daily Mail seems to have some of the same info.
Emily did not just try to kill her baby, but also herself.
Murder-Suicide. Knowing what we know about her father, I have a feeling that she had good reason for her mental health issues. If Ariel was abusive as abusive to her as these other women, then she might well have been justified in believing her family was trying to kill her. :moo:
"When officers went to the home, they found Emily Castro covered in mud, water and blood."
"She was bleeding from self-inflicted knife wounds to her neck and wrists and told police she tried to kill herself with the same knife she used to attack her baby. She then tried to drown herself in a nearby creek."
"During the trial, her defense attorneys produced evidence that Castro suffered from serious depression for years before the birth of her daughter, and that it spiraled into paranoia, causing her to think her family was trying to kill her and the baby at the time of the attack."
