CALHOUN COUNTY (WKZO) — Charges will not be filed against a 78-year-old woman who confessed to killing her own infant son over half a century ago.
She claimed she smothered the 8-month-old boy because she could not handle dealing with three children, because her truck driver husband was rarely home.
In 1961, the official cause of death was listed as the baby choking on his formula
Authorities exhumed the body but could not verify or refute her claim, due to the condition of the infant.
Prosecutors say the poor health of the elderly woman, the inability after all these years to prove what she says and that the fact that her deteriorating mental condition makes her less than credible all played a role in their decision not to resurrect the 1961 death investigation.
She poses no threat to the population.
A set of her twins also died under mysterious circumstances. She is clearly no threat to society now.If you are wondering how her children feel about this, they are the ones who turned her in.
They have reportedly severed all ties with her.
