Did I miss something? Was she arrested before? If she was found dead at the scene why is there a mugshot of her? Too many questions. A 5 yr old had been allowed to leave the house, and found outside before? Possibly trying to escape? This could just be a desperate woman that could not solve her problems. But it seems she had reason to really fear this abuser. If he abused her and the kids, then he could have sexually abused them as well. Maybe it was too much for her. Seems he got off too light on that slapping charge too, while she was pregnant.
