About this listen
In November 2014, emergency services arrived at a quiet home in Alberta to find an unthinkable scene — an 11-day-old infant dead, and his mother, 31-year-old Michelle Rice, at the center of a case that would ignite a national conversation about mental health, isolation, and the darker edges of postpartum despair.
In this episode of Verona Investigates: Women Who Kill, we explore the emotional unraveling that led to this tragedy, the complex psychological factors at play, and the intense courtroom battle that followed. Through timelines, documented reports, and expert insights, we break down how a new mother slipped into a dangerous state of crisis and how the system missed the signs.
This case is deeply painful — but it is also critically important.
Trigger Warning: Infant death, postpartum mental health.
