BS....if she wanted to go for whatever reason there wasn't any need to take her 2 beautiful children with her...The only thing I can think off is that she was so messed up...she wanted to protect her children for the loss.....Naaahhhhh....sorry...Don't get that.
MARSHA EDWARDS SHOOTING: Cobb woman shot children multiple times before shooting self in chest, autopsies reveal
Erin Edwards was shot twice in the left arm and once in the chest, her autopsy revealed. Her body was discovered in the same room as her mother.
Christopher Edwards was shot six times, according to the autopsy result, once in the back of the head, once in the abdomen, twice in the back, once in his left arm and once in his shoulder. His body was found in his bed on a different level of the home than his sister and mother, authorities said.
It sounds like she was in some kind of psychotic, out of control rage. Didn’t I read they were killed in their sleep? Why shoot them so many times? Mind blowing.Why did she hate her own adult children so badly? This seems like overkill.
These poor kids had a very evil mother.
Hi there, Bit of hope!
Nope. ITA!, I don't believe that was the reason either not even for a nano second.
Imo, she blamed her own two adult children for their own murders because she was losing her own smothering iron chokehold she had been able to have throughout their lives.
The material things she did or bought for them even in adulthood were merely more controlling narcisstic tools she thought would continue to control them so they would always come running as she illogically demanded they do.
IMO, they got out of line by daring to have their own productive promising individual lives without her always being top priority.
So she had to banish them from this earth for good, and she did exactly that with total indifference. They were no longer beautiful ornaments she could take off, and on her family tree.
They had their own lives now. She would not tolerate either doing so.
She killed herself because a raging narcissist detest more than anything being exposed for all to see what they really are beneath the fake persona they have falsely projected to others their entire lives.
Jmhoo
ITA...and the son being shot in the back of the head just seems to me especially brutal—that’s what they typically refer to in the media as an “execution-style” murder.Why did she hate her own adult children so badly? This seems like overkill.

My grisly vision of how it may have gone down between mother/son (warning, a little graphic):
I am picturing a fight/argument between the two kicked things off. Chris turns to walk away from his mother, she shoots him in the back, he turns around in shock, gets shot twice more in arm and abdomen, and collapses face-down on the floor where she delivers the last shot to the back of his head.
The amount of rage she evidently felt towards at yeast one of her kids is just bone-chilling to think about!
MOO
It's true her victims were overshadowed by her social status within the community -- by the city officials, in the news articles, and at their funeral service with her picture right up there in the middle. I can understand why some of the posters here felt her life was being celebrated more than her victims.
I'm not convinced there was any one event that made her angry. This might have been part of a premeditated plan after all the wonderful accomplishments and travels. I wish she went to therapy instead of on those lavish trips, but I have to agree, Marsha was all about boastful appearances right up until the very end.
I'm disgusted hearing how many times she shot her own children. She said she couldn't have asked for better children. She was so grateful that she shot them dead in the prime of their lives.
I think it was premeditated. She had clips of her saying Goodbye (on Instagram) while walking away and champagne glass toasting plus that final post that was after 4 am in the morning. My guess is that she had just murdered both of her adult children and then posted that she couldn't have asked for better children..... snipped ………
Not sure I remember checking out any on Instagram.
Sorry, but I got my fill of her "showing off" face. I found many of her fb posts on that last trip with Erin were a bit premeditated creepy. And yet, although I do think she planned this some time ago, I still search for some way to understand how she could do such a thing to her trusting children with great lives of their own.
I don't know if anything set her off to start thinking of killing herself and including her adult children . It's the most selfish, inexcusable act. I guess I search for a reason, or more to the story. Was she angry mainly with her ex-husband? Did she resent it when Erin or Chris Jr. associated with their father? Was this some sort of pay back? I can't help wondering if Marsha was out for revenge and to completely destroy her ex-husband by killing their grown children. After all, he will never be able to have dinner with them again, or attend their weddings, or enjoy grandchildren from them. All the relatives and friends left with her selfish act blotting out those two young, beautiful lives. We don't own our children.
I think of that quote by Kahlil Gibran about children.

As a psychiatrist himself, Scott Peck does not discount the existence of various psychiatric disorders, including those that can cause people to behave in an evil way, but rather views evil as being a distinct problem that straddles the line between a personality disorder, and spiritual disorder, perhaps leaning towards the latter. He describes evil people as being aware of their conscience, but actively choosing to ignore it, as opposed to a sociopathic person who appears to be devoid of conscience altogether. In other words, an evil person knows that they are doing evil, while a sociopath does not, even though their actions may be very similar.
Peck describes evil as “militant ignorance”. Evil people are obsessed with maintaining their self-image of perfection through self-deception. In addition, evil people will be very selective about who they inflict their evil upon, while going to great lengths to maintain an image respectability and normality with everyone else. As a result, evil people are often well liked by the majority, and their victims come across as being overly sensitive, having a persecution complex, or even being crazy.
Evil people, unable to face the painful reality of their character, will often place themselves in positions of power, or moral superiority.
Wonderful!!! I agree totally!
This was all about herself, ego, outside looks (maybe her children wanted to show the world who this woman really was and she couldn't handle that, because she was leading a fake live) and she is a miserable so called "human being".
