Illinois
This is the mother who is believed to have massacred her boyfriend and three children in a tiny Illinois farm town before turning the gun on herself.
Chilling photos show proud parents Sara McMeen and Daniel Warren smiling 10 months ago with their newborn daughter Maggie.
All three are dead now, along with McMeen's two other young children Skyler, 8, and Ian, 7 -- the victims of a horrible murder-suicide that wiped out a family of five in moments in Emington, Illinois.
A witness described the horrible moment McMeen, 30, placed the infant girl on the ground, wrapped her in a blanket and shot her at point blank range with a semi-automatic pistol.
She had apparently already gunned down her 29-year-old boyfriend Daniel and her two other children, the Pontiac Daily Leader reported.
When the neighbor ran for help. When she came back, McMeen was dead, as well, after turning the gun on herself.
Authorities have given no clue what could have led the mother of three to massacre her family.
The neighbor who witnessed the shooting told the Daily Leader she walked outside when she heard the gunshots and saw McMeen wrap her infant daughter in a blanket on the ground in the backyard of her home.
When the neighbor asked if she was alright, the McMeen responded: 'No, everything is not OK,' then bent down and shot the baby at point-blank range. JESUS!
