CARSON -- Detectives found the bodies of two young girls at a southwestern Washington rock pit after their mother called police to say she had killed them, authorities said.
Charlene A. Dorcy, 39, told officers Saturday evening that she had taken her two children -- 2-year-old Brittany and 4-year-old Jessica Dorcy -- to the Wind River recreation area, where she shot and killed them, Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox said yesterday
Cox said Dorcy led detectives to an abandoned rock pit, approximately 33 miles northeast of Carson, where they found the bodies. The Carson area is near the north banks of the Columbia River about 40 miles east of Vancouver.
Authorities believe Dorcy had driven her daughters nearly two hours from their home in Hazel Dell, near Vancouver, to the deserted rock pit, KGW-TV in Portland reported.
Dorcy was being held in Skamania County Jail in Stevenson yesterday for investigation of two counts of first-degree murder. She was on suicide watch. Cox said no court appearance had been scheduled.
Autopsies were expected for the girls.
"Our hearts are ripped out like anybody else's. We have children, we are parents, and cannot fathom for a moment ever doing something like this ... it digs deep inside and tears us up," Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown said.
Sheriff's officers planned to speak with Dorcy's husband before commenting on her mental state.
Investigators asked that anyone who was in the Lone Butte area of Skamania County Saturday afternoon and might have information about the case call 509-427-8783.
Yes, very much so; and poor USA, where this person would be home free if only she had arranged for their murder at or before birth.
One only wonders when, like pagan Sparta, law and custom in the USA will devolve to "freedom of choice" after birth, as well as before (and during) birth, at which point even this outrage would be given sanction (provided she just left them to die rather than actively killing them).
This will not be resolved (except as an effect, rather than a cause) by electing "the right leadership". It must first be resolved by repentance and renewal by at least a substantial part of the electorate, to the point where they are sufficient in numbers to replace most of the current leadership with legislators and executives committed to defending human life. The judges, who "read the election returns", will follow in due course.
Unless he did it, and she's taking the fall for it.
That seems to be a future event. It says nothing about the father "forgiving her"...
She is evil.
Nor does the article state that the woman's husband was the father of the children.
Dear Lord.
Nothing in the universe is sweeter and more precious than a 2-4 year-old girl. How anyone can do harm to one is beyond comprehension.
Right now, they walk streets of gold, hand-in-hand with their Creator.
My heart weeps. As a society we have marginalized life to the point that these are no longer isolated events. I pray for the mother's soul. God Bless these little angels.

I used to go huckleberry picking right by there. Nice area. Nice folks, I wonder why she snapped. Maybe she couldn't handle the climate - the long, grey, wet winter and spring season can do people in.
My daughter is 24 and my son is 23. Their mom and I divorced when they were 12 and 11. There were no limits on time spent with them. They both tell me very frequently that throughout their lives the one thing they never doubted was the love their mom and I had for them.
I cannot fathom how anyone could not love their own child. I love all children and they know it. Three year olds will sit and talk to me like I am one of them. It must be because I act three years old.
Incrementalism. We see it every day. We are on the road there if Roe vs. Wade is not overturned.
My first thought is always where is the father, and was the state complicit in taking away his protection.
I wonder why this article doesn't mention what another article said about this woman (monster)... she is from Vancouver? Is she here illegally? Did she come to the US to kill her children? Or is she from Vancouver, and just lives here now?
For purposes of bandwidth preservation, I propose designating your response as reply #AB-734. Since you and others insist on inserting it within every thread on the forum, consider just typing in #AB-734. Then, the rest of us will nod solemnly and go on with the unhijacked substance of the author. And the time you save by using this short cut might just add up to that necessary to go bomb a local family planning center. It's a win-win.
Never mind... re-read the article it's mentioned in the middle. The other article mentioned it straight away.
You do realize she is from Hazel Dell which is in the southern part of Washington State, near Vancouver, WA, which is across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. She lives in the USA.
