New details have emerged about the horrific murders of three Florida children at the hands of their own mother. The woman, who was responsible for loving and nurturing these precious babies, snuffed out their lives one by one. Now, new court documents have been released that include handwritten notes from officers, which reveal what happened surrounding these gruesome murders, including the chilling last words of one of her children.
As previously reported by Mad World News, Jessica McCarty, 33, of Palm Bay, Florida, viciously murdered her three children on March 20. According to police reports, McCarty drowned her oldest daughter Lacey McCarty, 7-years-old, and strangled her sons – Phillip McCarty, 6-years-old, and her infant son Christopher Swist, 5 months old –before attempting to end her life.
In newly released documents, McCarty is reported to have attempted to take her own life with a knife in the aftermath of the monstrous killings. McCarty is also reported to have said, “I’m so pissed you guys didn’t shoot me with a real gun. I don’t deserve to live,” as she was being taken to the Holmes Regional Medical Center.
In notes taken from the crime scene by Palm Bay Detective Lewis Jones, he paints a very disturbing picture upon arriving at the house of horror. He describes walking into the family’s home, noticing that the movie Marley and Me was playing on the television and blood was splattered throughout the home.
According to the detectives notes, McCarty said, “I just wanna die. I hope something bad happens and I just die here, just give me the death penalty, right here, right now. I wanted to stab myself very badly. I’ve wanted to kill myself for a long time.” McCarty is also said to have stated, “I wish I’d finished the job,” according to the handwritten notes by officers.
In what is probably the most incomprehensible part of the report, McCarty recalled her daughter’s last words.
“She kept telling me, ‘I love you mommy.'”
Reportedly, McCarty attempted suicide before, and just weeks prior to these murders, she said she wanted to kill herself. McCarty had told family members, ‘”I will snap my babies’ necks and take them with me when I kill myself.”
Sadly, these murders could have easily been prevented, considering all the signs of her mental instability prior to her deranged acts that took the lives of her children. The family members were aware of her threats, as well as the Department of Children and Families, who reported in 2009 that McCarty was an “intermediate” risk because of her suicidal tendencies. There is no logical reason these children should have been left alone with this woman, and the responsibility in my opinion falls on all their shoulders just as much as it does the monster who murdered them.
Perhaps it’s time these government agencies stop worrying themselves with who is and isn’t vaccinating their children or agreeing to harsh medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, and actually start protecting the innocent lives left in the care of the mentally ill. It would seem to me that if they can easily remove children from carrying families so easily in these other instances, these children could have been saved had someone done their job.
