A 28-year-old Minnesota mother accused of killing her own 6-year-old son is facing a potential mandatory life sentence after prosecutors upgraded the charges against her. A Hennepin County grand jury has returned an indictment against Julissa Angelica Genrich Thaler on one count of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of young Eli Hart, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Thaler had initially been charged with one count of second-degree murder – with intent, but not premeditated – in May after she was pulled over driving around with Eli’s body in the trunk of her heavily damaged car. Under Minnesota state law, Thaler will face a mandatory sentence of life in prison if she is convicted on the first-degree murder charge.
According to the latest court filing from prosecutors, officers with the Orono Police Department on May 20, 2022, conducted a traffic stop on a Chevy Impala driven by Thaler that was missing one of its front tires and riding straight on the wheel rim.
Upon approaching the vehicle, police said they observed that the back window of the Impala was “broken out” and Thaler appeared to have blood on her hands. Officers also found a shotgun shell, a spent casing, blood, and what appeared to be a bullet hole in the back seat of the car.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed that Eli’s dead body had been stuffed into the trunk, laying alongside a shotgun.
“The victim had been shot multiple times, and there was a shotgun in the trunk,” prosecutors wrote. “Officers arrested Defendant and observed that Defendant had blood and what appeared to be brain matter in her hair at the time of her arrest.”

I have words. WHERE WAS THE CHILD’S FATHER? Oh wait!
I’m the 50s 60s this person would have been committed before they hurt someone.
Papa is no prince either, though. He flew the coop.
Just horrible. The father tried but the court, judge and “the system” failed him, having deaf ears and being devoid of feelings.
Squareheads gone murderous in the worst possible way
Not this woman, my friend.
There are numerous articles about horrible mothers abusing their children to death (or letting the boyfriend abuse them to death....still the mother’s fault for abdicating her sacred responsibility).
Most of the time, the dad was actively fighting for custody.
That crap needs to change!
Fighting for custody . . .
“On March 25, 2022, Tory sent an email to the Child Protective Services in Dakota County, Minnesota expressing concern that Eli was being mentally and emotionally abused. But on May 10, 2022, Thaler gained full custody of their son.”
...........................I...................
I’ve observed first hand in several states a parent can get away with mental and emotional abuse, always. Child protective services will only deal in physical and sexual abuse.
Look at the smirk on the murdering mother’s face.
Amen
Satan’s smirk. Totally possessed.
