"But there was no way for Marina and Kevin Krim to know that Ortega had begun hearing voices—and, in her family’s words, “started acting different”—back when she was 16 and still working at her father’s grocery store in the Dominican Republic.
Or that Ortega had suffered some kind of mental crisis around 2008, becoming so uncommunicative and withdrawn that her family sought to exorcise whatever was tormenting her by playing music and opening the window.
Or that she had taken a turn for the worse after bringing her 17-year-old son to New York in mid-2012, forbidding him to play baseball or listen to music and commanding him to hide under the bed with her whenever they heard a dog barking.
Or that right up to the time of the killings, she had continued hearing voices, male and female, speaking in Spanish but still unintelligible to her save for when they urged her to hurt others.
Or that she had also been having visual hallucinations of people of all colors and all sizes, “including giants,” fighting.
Or that she had felt something touch her that she thought to be the devil.
Or that three days before the killings her sister was awakened before dawn by the sound Ortega wildly throwing pots and pans around the kitchen. The sister came in as Ortega was banging her head against the wall. The sister stayed up with her from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m., but Ortega said afterward that she did not remember anything of the incident. A psychiatrist would later testify at the fitness hearing that it was most likely a “dissociative episode.”
Or that the morning of the killings Ortega knocked on a neighbor’s door and asked if she could come in and make breakfast. The neighbor was off visiting somebody at the hospital, but a niece was there and let Ortega in. The niece became unnerved and retreated to her room as Ortega made bananas and cheese and began to pace between the living room and the kitchen. Ortega then went to the niece’s room and knocked on the door, saying, “Please come out. I can’t be alone. I’m afraid.”
The Krims knew nothing of all this, and Ortega seemed outwardly fit as she arrived at their apartment later that day. Ortega would later say she remembered making breakfast and going to work, but recalled nothing else other than she was supposed to take 6-year-old Lucia “Lulu” Krim to ballet that day."

Either tbis is all a crock...or the entire Ortega family has blood on its hands.
