From yesterday but it is interesting they are heading toward a psychiatric evaluation without knowing the extent of what the prosecutors will present on the motive.

The police said right away that they thought they knew what the motive was. I assume it was based upon what Mary said in her confession.
Even if the prosecutors don't know the motive, they may want the psychiatrist to confirm that Mary "suffers from post-partum psychosis" just for CYA purposes.

"This is a media circus," he observed Monday. "Everybody was there except the Taiwan Times, and they probably will be there Thursday." I just love it when someone uses a sense of humor to kick out a memorable line...

Winkler apparently fled with her children to southern Alabama, where she was arrested late last week. They have been placed in the custody of their maternal grandparents. I distinctly remember reading that the children were with the paternal grandparents. Wonder what's up with the change of custody?

Isn't the murder of a husband unusual as a result of postpartum depression? I can't remember a single well-known case in which a husband was the victim.
Anyone remember any cases of that happening?

If they are moving toward a psych evaluation, it means that her motive was neither self-defense nor defending her children.
Looks like a bad shoot.

PPD refers to harming the kids, not the spouse, I believe. The only term I've ever heard for killing a spouse is "murder."

Based on other articles I read this morning, I don't have any information that custody has been changed. More likely this is a misfire on the part of the writer due to a lack of vocabulary skills in addition to poor editing.

I think that is an error. All news sources are still reporting that the "paternal" GP's have custody.

The story is incorrrect. The children are with their paternal grandparents. Mary's mother is deceased.

I am getting really sick of the coverage of the Church of Christ as a "sect", the minister as charismatic and that the church is restrictive.
This is a major trash job on the Church of Christ as is always the case when any fundamental church has members that hit the news. Those interviewed as authorities as knowledgeable really show how secular and ignorant they are with their comments.
Even Geraldo was way off base calling him a Pentecostal preacher. I thought Geraldo would at least verify and investigate before he hit the air waves.

post partum depression is general broken into 3 categories (or so it was last time i checked several years ago). They are:
PP Blues- feeling sad for up to 2 months
pp Depression- deep depression lasting up to a year or more
pp Psychosis- just like it sounds. woman has psychotic symptoms and could do something psycho.
In most of these cases the victim is the baby, but psycho is psycho and who's to say the husband couldn't be the victim.
I'm not condoning this. I don't even think that any type of insanity is a defense for murder.

I'm beginning to wonder if there has been a new drug to treat post partum depression that may have serious consequences.
However, if having at least one daughter, how easy would it be to kill a husband and then claim that there was sexual abuse of the daughter/daughters?
Needless to say, I feel for the family as they see their son's reputation destroyed as well as his life taken.
If true, no problem, but we only have one side of the story and if you are willing to commit murder, you would be willing to lie to cover it up.

Fact-checking must take too long in these cyberspace days. Appears to be more important to get the story out asap.

I agree that Geraldo did not know his hat from a hole in the ground with the "Pentecostal" claim. However, I am not seeing a "trash job" within the posted article. I have seen other articles and FReeper postings that were extremely unfair or misinformed.

True. But I have already complained to Fox and will continue to do so. This is a church that does all in its power to follow Christ afterall. It is worth defending.

I imagine here psychosis refers not to going bonkers enough to rampage but a clinical "loss of contact with reality."
A clinical psychotic episode wouldn't turn a person into a psychopath. That said...it still might have been a part of the motive (i.e. delusions).

I'm sorry - I was not clear. I was not referring to this article, just making a comment after hearing the FoxNews report where the "figure of knowledge" mentioned that he was a member of a very restrictive "sect". The newscaster called him a charismatic preacher. (Don't know if this meant a charismatic person or that he was a proponent of the charismatic movement).
