Four innocent children were deliberately drugged and murdered by their own mother and grandmother in a sickening murder-suicide plot allegedly driven by a bitter custody dispute, according to investigators.
The children, Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; and 10-year-old twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon, were found dead alongside their mother, Sarah Myers, 44, and grandmother, Amy Steadman, 64, inside Steadman’s apartment in Mechanicville, New York, on June 23.
Investigators believe the children were murdered on June 10, nearly two weeks before their decomposing bodies were discovered during a welfare check.
Now, toxicology results have revealed that diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, and kratom, a psychoactive substance with opioid-like effects, were found in the children’s blood, sources told Albany’s WNYT NewsChannel 13.
The disturbing toxicology findings were first reported nationally by the New York Post.
According to police, Myers and Steadman conspired through text messages to obtain medications, poison the children, and conceal their monstrous plot.
The messages allegedly show the two women coordinating the murders as they were taking place.
One message reportedly indicated that the drugs were not working as planned and that at least one child had realized what was happening.
Gavin was allegedly stabbed repeatedly after the poisoning attempt failed. Police said he had defensive wounds, indicating the terrified 10-year-old fought for his life.
Investigators also discovered disturbing internet searches on Steadman’s phone involving fatal stabbing locations and the carotid artery, according to ABC News.
They always show pictures of perps “in happier times”....
Its the media telling us what to cogitate upon. Disgusting , manipulative media.
Oh indeed the photo selection is almost always slanted to serve the narrative and that goes for every story not just crime ones.

More likely the photo selection is limited to what family members or friends with photos are willing to let the press see, and willing to give to the press.
And in cases like these it is probably the defense attorneys who selected the photos.
Just more later term abortions. Life has no value. Mind virus.
Meanwhile, there is no shortage of men killing kids and women and each other with bombs and in drive by shootings and murder suicides, demonstrating how rock solid and steady their mental state is.
There is much more going on here than just gender.
Much of the planet has gone batshit crazy since social media addiction and all the cover behavioral influence campaigns. Not that horrific killings didn’t occur in the past- they did.
It’s going to get worse.

To be fair, people rarely go professional studios and instruct the photographer to "capture that gleam of homicidal mania in my wife's eye, willya?"
And they rarely take home snapshots intended to highlight how deranged and unstable the future perp is.
Waddaya expect, anyway?

And could you imagine what it was like at family gatherings?
"Carl, your new daughter has the same eyes as your previous daughter - you know: The one your wife drowned?"
Conducting even a casual conversation with your son, brother-in-law, uncle, etc. would be like navigating a verbal mine field!
Regards,
True! That said: I doubt that the family members even have any unflattering photos - you know: Snapshots of the young kids with the mother - a murderous glint in her eye - hovering in the background, holding a butcher knife!
Regards,
The family that slays together...
EVIL is winning - and it won’t be beaten until He returns - but things will get much worse before that happens.
Chain them together 24/7 until both are bones.
