Mom Suffocates Son
Brenda M. Thiel, 27, killed her son Caleb by covering his mouth and nose with her hands while he slept the morning of May 5.
Neenah police officers who were called to Thiel’s house that morning found Caleb on a bed in a second-floor bedroom. An officer tried to revive Caleb, but he was pronounced dead at Theda Clark Medical Center.
Thiel told police she had a nightmare about tornadoes a few days before killing her son. While she slept, Thiel said, she heard a voice telling her to kill Caleb.
The night before she killed Caleb, Thiel began thinking about her nightmare while reading the Bible.
Thiel also told police that she wanted to suffocate Caleb, but did not know why she wanted to do so.
Yep ... late twenties.
About the right age for schizophrenia to blossom.
