A 28-year-old Michigan mother of three reportedly used a false doctor’s note to get her daughters out of school before she killed them and herself last week.
The “doctor’s note” to the school was fake, officials said.
Moore’s former social worker had warned about her behavior months before the tragic incident in a petition to the Newaygo County Probate Court.
She added: “Aubrianne stays awake at night believing people will break into her home. Aubrianne is not eating believing food is being poisoned.”
“I believe the individual has mental illness and as a result of that mental illness the individual can reasonably be expected within the near future to intentionally or unintentionally seriously physically injure self or others,” the social worker said.
Moore then shot them with a hunting rifle before going back to her boyfriend’s house, turning the gun on herself near the vehicle, the report said.
“This is one of the hardest cases I’ve ever hear about. This is a very difficult case. Our investigators are feeling it. It’s heartbreaking that something like this happened in our community.”
“We don’t know what was going through her head, she didn’t leave a suicide note or anything like that,” LaJoye-Young added in the video.
“Mom appears to have been struggling with pretty substantial mental health issues... She had some postings on Facebook and things like that that lead to believe she was paranoid and thought that the kids were in jeopardy somehow.”
The sheriff elaborated on the incident.
“We were able to pretty accurately put together the timeline of everything that happened from the time the kids were picked up from school until the time the bodies were found, so we’re very certain that there wasn’t any opportunity for anyone else (to be involved). Plus the ballistics were consistent with the suicide in the three murders,” LaJoye-Young told WOOD.
At one point last year, Moore agreed to be hospitalized due to mental health issues, but it’s not clear how long she was there.
“I don’t understand it. She had beautiful children, wonderful children,” a family member told WOOD-TV. “I don’t see what the reason was to take them.”
School officials also spoke fondly of the girls.
“Cassidy’s teacher mentioned she was hard-working and friendly,” Tri County Area Superintendent Allen Cumings said in a letter, as Fox reported. “Kyrie’s teacher also noted her love of reading and said she often volunteered to help others.”
Gift of Life Michigan in Ann Arbor said that Cassidy and Kyrie’s father agreed to donate some of their tissue, WOOD reported.
