She Drowned Five Children… But Was She Guilty or Insane?
Description
Andrea Yates didn’t fit the picture of a monster. She was a nurse, a mother, and a woman devoted to her faith. But in June of 2001, she drowned all five of her children, shocking the world. What drove her to this act? Was it religion, postpartum psychosis, or years of ignored cries for help? This case isn’t just about murder—it’s about the hidden cost of untreated mental illness.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
• Andrea’s early life and family background
• Her struggle with postpartum depression and psychosis
• The morning of June 20, 2001 — and what really happened inside that Houston home
• Rusty Yates, faith, and the role of religious influence in their lives
• The trial that divided the nation: Was she insane or guilty?
• The psychology of maternal filicide and why society struggles to process it
• Where Andrea Yates is now
🧠 This isn’t just the story of a crime — it’s a story about the fragile line between love, illness, and tragedy.
