I wonder if the son knew anything about this? What on earth was going through the MIL's mind?? Now the baby has lost a mother and the father has for all intents and purposes lost his mother too, it's just so senseless and unnecessary.

And the father is in jail on unrelated charges! Some family, huh?

I really hope Heather's parents win their case for permanent full custody.

In a jailhouse interview with WSB-TV, Steven Strube said he has been "really sick" since learning of his mother's indictment for murder. "I've been throwing up, my head's been spinning."

He said that if he could talk to his mother, he would tell her "I love her and I hope she really didn't do this."

Steven Strube said that Snellville police had at one point convinced him that his mother had killed his estranged wife, but now he doesn't believe she is guilty.

Translation: "Mommy, PLEASE don't rat me out to the cops!"
