LONGWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Three children were found dead under a bed in their home Tuesday, a day after their mother was arrested in North Carolina. Police said the woman allegedly confessed to their slayings.
Authorities were led to the children — girls ages 5 and 9, and a 6-year-old boy — after Andrea Williams was arrested for trespassing at a former friend's home about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte.
Williams, 32, was being quizzed after her estranged husband filed a missing-persons report Tuesday morning with Longwood police, said Maj. Coy Reid of the Catawba County, N.C., Sheriff's Department.
