    Nov 28 2025
    Reid Carter examines the case that changed how America views maternal mental illness. June 20, 2001, Houston. Andrea Yates, suffering severe postpartum psychosis, drowned her five children one by one in the bathtub. Noah, seven. John, five. Paul, three. Luke, two. Mary, six months.

Left her alone despite doctor's orders. 2002 trial: guilty, life in prison. 2006 retrial: not guilty by reason of insanity. Now at mental hospital. The question: Mental illness or murder?

    Reid Carter takes a dark look at Thanksgiving murders. Joel Guy Jr. came home for Thanksgiving 2016 with a notebook titled "Assets." His parents were retiring, cutting him off financially. Day after turkey dinner, he stabbed his father 42 times, his mother 31 times. Dismembered both. Left mother's head boiling in a pot on the stove. Torsos dissolving in acid-filled plastic bins. Prosecutors called it a "diabolical stew of human remains." Then Florida 2009: Paul Merhige sang Christmas carols at Thanksgiving dinner with 16 relatives. Three hours later, opened fire. Killed four including six-year-old cousin. Said "I've waited 20 years for this."
