How did the incident come to light?
The 35-year-old mother, Mitchelle Blair, has been asked to vacate her apartment for non-payment of her rent. According to reports, she asked her relatives for money when she was unable to pay her dues and hold a steady job. She owned $2,206 in the apartment complex in which she lived.
It was at that time that the court sent an eviction notice and asked her to leave her apartment. After she left, the 36th District Court team entered her apartment to remove her furniture. While they were cleaning out the freezer, they found two corpses wrapped in a plastic sheet.
Blair admitted to killing her children
It wasn’t a long chase to catch Blair. She confessed to the police that she had killed her children because they were turning into “demons”. She told the police that her sons were sexually abusing her youngest son, so she killed them.
In August 2012, Blair returned home to find her youngest son, Matthew, using dolls to stimulate sexual activity. When she asked about him, she quickly confessed that her older brother, Stephen, often sexually abused him.
The enraged mother confronted Stephen about it and he confessed too.
During the trial, Mitchelle told police:
“I went upstairs and said, Stephen, Matthew said you were fucking him. He stood up and looked at me as if he had lost his mind. He said yes… So I started hitting Stephen… I put a bag over his head, he lost consciousness, I did it a couple of times.”
What did she do with her children?
After learning what Stephen had been doing with Matthew, Blair allegedly began torturing him in the most inhumane of ways. She confessed to pouring hot water on her genitals and letting the skin peel off. The mother then proceeded to force Stephen to drink Index before strangling him with a belt.
A few months after killing Stephen, Blair allegedly discovered that her daughter, Stoni, was raping her youngest son, so she decided to starve Stoni to death before beating her to death in May 2013.
According to Mitchelle, she wanted to confess everything to the police, but Matthew didn’t want to let her mother go, so she decided to place Stoni’s body on top of Stephen’s in the freezer.
