Cowboy State Daily ^ | August 27, 2026 | Greg Johnson

A Wyoming woman who shot and killed her 11-month-old boy during a brief standoff with law enforcement after allegedly kidnapping him and fleeing to New Mexico has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.

Madeline Daly, 36, pleaded guilty this week in the Sixth Judicial District Court in Silver City, New Mexico, which eliminates the need for a trial that had been scheduled to begin Jan. 11, 2027, according to the local district attorney’s office.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

"she didn’t know why she shot and killed the boy..." If she pled reason of insanity, would she have wacko-support ala the crime on the East coast?

I believe that women kill their children at significantly higher rates than men. And that’s not even taking abortion into consideration. Society needs to work on getting a firmer grasp of the feminine nature. There is plenty of talk of “toxic masculinity” but I believe that is almost entirely a smokescreen to hide the reality of what women are like in an age of women’s liberation. It’s not pretty.

“I believe that women kill their children at significantly higher rates than men.”

Wrong. Men overwhelming are family annihilators by 83% to 90%.

“Daly’s plea agreement calls for her to receive the maximum sentence in New Mexico for first-degree murder, which is 30 years in prison.”

Seems unfair, she gave her child the death sentence.

Look like it depends on age. From AI --

Gender Differences in Filicide

Infancy vs. Older Children

Mothers: Women are responsible for a higher share of filicide during infancy. This means that when the child is very young, mothers are more often the perpetrators.

Fathers: Men are more likely to commit filicide against children aged eight or older. This trend indicates that as children grow, fathers become more frequently involved in these cases.

“She allegedly shot her son, then tried to turn the gun on herself, but by then officers were able to subdue her, according to the affidavit written by Detective Lt. Jason Jordan.”

That’s a shame they weren’t fast enough to save the boy, or slow enough to allow his Mom to join him.

“Daly’s plea agreement calls for her to receive the maximum sentence in New Mexico for first-degree murder, which is 30 years in prison, said Roxanne Garcia-McElmell, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office.”

I’d check her search history....seems premeditated.

Who wrote the stupid headline?

Makes it seem she pleaded guilty to get 39 years. Maybe instead of life in prison. But it’s not.

This thread has it all wrong. Women can and do kill their babies anytime they want it’s called abortion with no consequences. Men cannot do that and do not do that. So screw your left-wing BS AI-driven statistical analyses.

You are quoting statistics regarding filicide, which is generally considered killing one child. The Clancy case is based on family annihilators, where an entire family is murdered, which is committed by fathers almost 90% more than mothers. Which in my opinion should have been investigated in the Clancy case.

USA Today 2014:

Parents who do the unthinkable -- kill their children

A USA TODAY examination of more than three decades of FBI homicide data shows that on average, 450 children are killed every year by their parents. Northeastern University criminologists applied statistical models to the records. USA TODAY analyzed the database for a detailed look at who kills, who is killed and how. Several patterns are apparent:

• The vast majority of child victims – three out of four – are under 5. More than a third of all victims are under a year old.

• Nearly half of all victims died from physical beatings or other injuries at a parent's hands.

• Fathers are more likely to kill. Men killed six out 10 children, most often beating or shooting them. Fathers were at fault in 75% of cases when children were shot to death by a parent and in 64% of cases when a child was beaten. "Violence is a masculine pursuit," says Jack Levin, a Northeastern University criminologist.

• When mothers kill, they are far more likely to kill victims under the age of 1 than children of any other age. Nearly 40% of all children killed by their mothers were less than a year old.

These stats are 12 years old, and pre-pandemic, pre-Biden Invasion. It would be interesting to know if the patterns have changed.

hm
she killed her son so she could get 30 years.

That’s how I understood the title at first glance.

Thanx for the indo. The Chris Watts murder of his two little girls and pregnant wife really stood out for me in this Lindsay Clancy murder case. Initially, Watts claimed he found his two little girls dead, claiming his wife strangled them in their beds. Then he said, he was so devastated, because his wife had killed them that he then strangled her. Fortunately, the police didn’t buy it, continued the investigation and he confessed. The little girls were found in an oil storage tank. His motivation, he was in love with another woman and there were financial problems.

This wasn’t a lot different from the Clancy children murders. There was zero investigation, and quite a few inconsistencies on his part. He said she killed the kids and tried to commit suicide, that was that. She claims she has no memory of that night, except a male voice telling her to do it. I believe this case deserved a far more thorough investigation primarily because of the stark difference of statistics showing fathers are family annihilators at a rate of 83% more than mothers.
