Kids' Mom in Ohio Murder-Suicide Wanted Them Back The mother of three Ohio children who died in a murder-suicide had sought to have them back at her home after their grandmother had been caring for them. Police say that's when the grandmother snapped, killing the three grandchildren and herself with the help of her 32-year-old son.
