Mom Discovers Her Son Went On A Killing Spree

from Red Tree Crime · host Red Tree Crime

The moment a mother discovers her son has committed a mass killing is a devastating and surreal experience that shatters her entire world. For Sue Klebold, mother of Columbine shooter Dylan Klebold, that moment came when she learned her son had killed 12 students and a teacher before taking his own life. The realization was accompanied by a cringe of horror every time she sees his image on surveillance footage, fearing it could inspire copycats. Nancy Lanza, mother of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza, was killed by her son before the massacre, but friends described her as a loving but bewildered parent who struggled to manage her son's severe mental health issues. For Jennifer Crumbley, the Oxford High School shooter's mother, the realization came with a guilty verdict for involuntary manslaughter, a landmark case that held a parent legally responsible for her son's deadly actions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/red-tree-crime--6847553/support.
