Andrea is a mother of two but during this time she didn’t have full custody of her children because of everything that was going on in her life. She was really struggling and as much as her family tried to help her get on her feet or to find mental health assistance, Andrea was the independent type of woman who was too proud to take anything that she felt was charity. She wanted to do it all on her own.
While she was trying to work through things, she had been staying with different family members and a few different friends, hopping around from place to place so as not to be a bother to anyone. On this evening, August 12th, Andrea was going to be spending the night at her mother’s home in Audubon Park which is a neighborhood in Louisville, Kentucky. Around 9 pm, Andrea, along with her sister Sarah’s fiancee Ethan Bates and Andrea’s nephew, who had also been living at the mother’s house, decided to head over to the local McDonalds for a bite to eat.
At around 10 pm, Andrea asks Ethan to take her to the hospital. …
They leave McDonald’s and drive to the hospital where Andrea receives treatment for an infection that she had on her face. She spent about an hour and a half there and after receiving treatment she took a Lyft back to her mother’s home. Her mother wasn’t actually living in the home at the time — it was being renovated and lived in by Andrea's sister, her sister's fiance Ethan (who was trained as a home builder), and her nephew. Andrea spent time there as well while she was bouncing around.
On this night, in particular, Andrea’s two sons were staying with their fathers. This is a good thing because Andrea and her sister ended up getting into a fight and the situation became so toxic that around midnight Andrea walked over a mile to her other sister, Erin’s home.
When she arrived at Erin’s she was really upset and frustrated over the argument and wanted to vent about it. The two chatted for a short while, but Andrea was really riled up about the whole thing. Erin’s upper level of her home was under construction due to some busted pipes, so she and her children were sleeping on the bottom floor. With Andrea still flustered and Erin needing to get her kids to bed, Erin suggested she go back home and sleep the whole thing off.
