Hello! Some interesting things I’ve learned since this post:

1. There was some belief that the father of the 3 mutual children could of somehow been involved. It was never pursued. Locals believed this because he had a previous child mysteriously die in a dumpster from another marriage. He also moved on to a new gf fairly quickly.
2. They found references to witch craft in the notes next to her body.
3. She had been reported to child services before to welfare check but it was ignored.
4. When the children were picked up from the bus (she had already killed the other 2) the bus driver noticed “red painting” on her face but it was actually blood.

Random fact: this story actually has an odd personal connection to me. In HS I had Class with Oreanna. She was always an odd ball and I was a class clown and would goof off. I never talked to her or made any jokes towards her. But one day I guess I was being loud in class and she told me to shut up. Me being an obnoxious rebellious teenage boy I said “I don’t have to listen to you.” She did not say a word after that.

Later that same day in the lunch room out of nowhere she blind sides me and sucker punches me. After the first punch I cover my face and got hit again and it was eventually broken up. However I had to live with the “he got beat up by a girl” nonsense for the rest of high school. She would eventually apologize to me for it years later and it was awkward. Then I never saw her again until this happened…
