Hey girls! Hope you're doing well! I need to ask you of a huge favor! Before I do though, here's what its for.....
*** A young mother charged with murder has told police she hid her pregnancy, gave birth to twin sons at her family's home and killed the infants by smothering their cries so her parents wouldn't hear them.
Police in the Nashville suburb of Hendersonville arrested Lindsey Lowe, 25, on Wednesday after her father discovered one baby's body in a laundry basket.
According to a police affidavit, the young mother said she didn't tell her family she was pregnant, but believes she got pregnant in January and never visited a doctor. Police said on Thursday they were trying to identify the father of the twins.
Police said they interviewed Lowe who said she went into labor Monday evening while on the toilet at her parent's home. She said the first baby fell into the toilet and began to cry."Lowe stated that the baby was crying and Lowe did not want her parents to hear and find out about the child," police wrote in the affidavit. "Lowe stated that she put her hand over the child's mouth and she stated that she kept it there until the child was dead, which was a couple of minutes." Lowe said she never checked the sex of the child.
A few minutes later, the affidavit says, she gave birth to the second child, who also fell in the toilet. She again put her hand over the baby's mouth and held it there until the baby died, which she said took less time than the first child. She put both babies in the laundry basket and covered them up with blankets.
Police said both boys appeared to be full term and weighing about 5 or 6 pounds.
Lowe, who works at a pediatric dentist's office, was charged with first-degree murder and remained in jail Thursday with no bond. Police said she is undergoing a medical evaluation.
Police Lt. Scott Ryan said Thursday that he didn't know how she hid
the pregnancy, just saying that she didn't tell anyone. He would not say
whether Lowe was helping them to identify the father. ***
Okay......well, she was released yesterday on $250,000 bond. They will have a hearing for her in a week or two for her sentencing. They are passing around a petition to sign to try and get her the maximum sentencing. She will have at least 150 supporters there for HER. We are trying to get as many supporters as we can for the two innocent lives that were lost. I don't know how to make the link clicky.....but here's the petition. We just want her to serve the max for killing those two precious babies! Thank you!!
