Five Children Found Dead in Houston Home
A 36 year old woman on postpartum mood medication was arrested on suspicion of drowning her five children aged 6 months to 7 years in a Houston home near NASA Johnson Space Center. Police say she admitted the killings after meeting the first responding officer and led investigators to the victims. The father, a NASA computer specialist, could not enter the residence. CPS had previous involvement after a 1999 attempted death and concerns about the children's care.
