Mother Accused of Poisoning Her Kids

A chilling case in Oregon: Chardonnay Benavidez, a mother accused of trying to poison her two young children and herself, faces three counts of first-degree attempted murder after authorities found a vehicle hose connected to the home’s exhaust — a setup to pump carbon monoxide. She allegedly told 911 she planned to end everyone’s lives, and all five were rushed to the hospital — medically cleared the next day. After a psychiatric evaluation, she was jailed; her children, placed with their father, found their belongings stolen from the home. Prosecutors revealed she told the kids they were having a “sleepover in the car” and had been planning the act for weeks — with a gun also found in the vehicle.
