My guess - she’ll do some other evil thing before long and be back behind bars. Although of all the things in the article, setting fire to her house with her own three children in it seems the worst.

I understand “false witness” is explicitly forbidden in the 10 commandments, but still, the arson thing seems extreme.

Well, maybe she’s all rehabbed now, for her sake, and her children’s I hope so.

“Well, maybe she’s all rehabbed now”

I doubt it. She specializes in murder. She was convicted of second-degree murder in 2013 for the 2011 stabbing death of her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, and sentenced to 14 to 18 years. Mangum claimed the stabbing was in self-defense. This followed an earlier attempted murder charge in 2010 involving another boyfriend, Milton Walker, which was later dropped.

After graduation from high school in 1996, Mangum joined the U.S. Navy. She trained to operate radios and navigation technology. While serving in the Navy, Mangum married McNeill. Her marriage quickly broke down. Mangum reported to police that her husband had threatened to kill her, but the charge was dismissed when she failed to appear in court.[1] She served for less than two years in the Navy before being discharged after becoming pregnant by a fellow sailor, with whom she went on to have another child.

By 2002, Mangum had returned to Durham and was working as a stripper. In 2002, she was arrested on 10 charges after stealing the taxicab of a customer to whom she had given a lap dance. This prompted a police pursuit at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, occasionally in the wrong lane. After being stopped, Mangum nearly ran over a police officer, succeeding only in hitting his patrol vehicle. She was found to have a blood alcohol content of over twice the legal limit. Ultimately, Mangum pleaded guilty to four counts: assault on a government official, larceny, speeding to elude arrest, and driving while impaired. She served three weekends in jail, paid $4,200 in restitution and fees, and was given two years’ probation.

Just before midnight on February 17, 2010, Durham police were called to Mangum’s residence by her nine-year-old daughter. They said that, when they arrived, they found Mangum and her live-in partner, Milton Walker, fighting.[5] She reportedly set fire to some of his clothing in a bathtub in their presence. The building suffered heavy smoke damage. They arrested Mangum on charges of attempted murder, first-degree arson, assault and battery, identity theft, communicating threats, damage to property, resisting an officer, and misdemeanor child abuse.

For the sake of her children they need to be hidden where she will never find them.
