Grandmother and Daughter Killed Four Children | Tucson News

A chilling case in Mechanicville, New York, has rocked a tight-knit community after investigators uncovered the bodies of a grandmother, her daughter, and four children—all allegedly murdered in a twisted attempt to shield them from an abusive father. Found in an apartment after days of disappearance, the victims included Amy Steadman, Sarah Myers, and the children Harper, Hudson, and twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon. Evidence now points to both women’s involvement, with texts revealing plans to poison the kids using prescription and OTC drugs—and one child also suffered stab wounds. The father, Brady Harmon, says a six-year custody battle fueled the tragedy, as the children were set to visit him in Utah just days before their deaths. Handwritten notes falsely accused him of abuse, framing the killings as protection. Police believe the murders occurred nearly two weeks before discovery. This horrific act, born from a warped sense of justice and legal strife, has left a community in mourning and the investigation still unfolding.
