GUILTY NY - Felicia Barahona, 36, & Miguel, 4, murdered, NYC, 21 Dec 2016

[Deleted member 117884]

Mother and son found dead in apartment in upper Manhattan, after neighbors alerted the building super to a smell. The mother, Felicia Barahona, was found with an electrical cord around her neck. Her 4-yo son Miguel was drowned in the bathtub.

Felicia lost her job as a teacher a few years ago after having an affair with an 18yo student. The 4yo boy, Miguel, was a result of that affair.

The super last saw her Wednesday. That is also the day, Dec 21, of the last day of the term at the college where she works and/or attends class. She worked at John Jay College, which specializes in criminal justice.

It's possible that she's been deceased for days (which seems to be the case because of the noticeable odor), and no one noticed her missing from work because the campus is closed for the winter break.

I wonder about her son's daycare - if they have been missing him?

Edited again to say - She was a student at John Jay - not sure if she also worked there as well.

Police would not say whether they are seeking a suspect — or whether they believe the deaths resulted from a murder-suicide.

She was alive after Wednesday as a friend says they took a final exam together on Thursday: "The two had just taken a final exam together, on Thursday, Dec. 22, for a John Jay forensic science class, the friend said."

Thanks for the link.

So the super looked in through the fire escape and saw her on the floor. If she hanged herself with the cord, perhaps she fell? Or somehow strangled herself?

I am sure LE will be able to tell if it's self-inflicted or murder.

Felicia originally said the baby born from the affair with her high school student was a girl. But, the baby was a boy.

When I look at the article you posted above and also at her facebook, it sure appears she had a girl too. Perhaps she had a second child that was a boy, but in that case, where is the daughter? IMHO

Yes, it seems that her older child, a girl, lives elsewhere.

The second child (the 4yo who was found dead in the apartment with her) was a boy. She said the boy was a girl when he was first born, it appears.

Motive (from the article):

"He also said that he killed Barahona and their child because he was angry over the way she was raising the boy, sources said. His gripes included how she would dress Miguel in girl’s clothing, sources said.

Duran also mentioned an issue with child support payments."

What a sad, twisted series of events. Poor choices on top of heinous choices resulting in a child paying the ultimate price. SMDH. Rest In Peace little one.

When initially contacted by investigators, Duran put up the front of a grieving father and said he hadn’t visited the apartment since 2011, sources said.

But police later found out that he lied to them after he was spotted on building surveillance footage several days ago entering the six-story building and leaving hours later wearing different clothes, sources said.

Duran, a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, resident, was captured on surveillance going in and out of the building over the course of several days.
