Arizona Mother Admits to Killing Daughter, Poisoning Other Kids, Police Say

On Christmas day, officers in Arizona answered to a 911 call by Michael Macias. He had escaped his ex-wife after being stabbed. Connie Villa, 35-year-old wife and mother, tried to kill her whole family. She successfully suffocated her 13-year-old daughter after she refused to take the drugs her mother was making all her children take. Connie knew what she was doing and wanted to kill her family so her ex-husband wouldn't have custody of their four children. The three youngest children survived the poisoning attempted. When police arrived Connie had self inflicted stab wounds, but was still alive. She is now being charged for first degree murder and four counts of attempted murder.
