OREANNA MYERS, BUNUH LIMA ORANG ANAK AKIBAT KEMURUNGAN
Pada 8 Disember 2020 tahun lepas, seorang ibu muda berusia 25 tahun iaitu Oreanna Myers telah menembak mati lima orang anaknya di mana dua daripada mereka merupakan anak tiri. Identiti mayat mangsa yang ditemui di dalam rumah dikenalpasti sebagai Shaun Dawson Bumgarner (7 tahun), Riley James Bumgarner (6 tahun), Kian Myers (4 tahun), Aarikyle Nova Myers ( 3 tahun) dan Haiken Jirachi Myers ( 1 tahun). Selepas semua anaknya dibunuh, Oreanna membakar rumah mereka sebelum bertindak membunuh diri dengan cara tembakan pistol di luar rumah.
Menurut kenyataan daripada pihak berkuasa tempatan, Oreanna didakwa mengalami masalah kemurungan. Sewaktu kejadian berlaku, suami Oreanna yang bernama Brian Bumgarner terpaksa tinggal di rumah saudara maranya sepanjang minggu tersebut kerana mengalami masalah pengangkutan. Perkara ini berkemungkinan besar telah menjadi penyebab utama Oreanna bertindak di luar jangkaan. Antara teks mesej yang sempat dihantarnya kepada Brian,
“You’ll have nothing
to come back to but to corpse. No one cares why should I?”
“Money will come and
go, once I go there’s no replacing me. I beg and cry for help but never get it.
It’s my mental health that needs tending to - help me - I do not care anymore.”
Selain itu, pihak polis juga telah menemui tiga keping nota
dan sepucuk surat ditinggalkan oleh Oreanna yang bertulis seperti berikut :
Nota 1 - 'To Whomever
Finds This First'
"You’ll need to
call Brian Bumgarner. He is husband and father. You’ll need to call Raven, for
she is mother of Shaun and Riley.
"If someone would
please call my mother. Tell her I’m sorry, this is no one’s fault but my own.
"My demons won
over me and there’s no going back. So sorry I wasn’t strong enough. Thank you.
XOXO, OAM.”
Nota 2 - 'My Confession'
"I had shot all
of the boys in the head. I had set house on fire. I had shot myself in the
head. I’m sorry.
"Mental health is
serious. I hope one day someone will help others like me.
"Mental health is
not to joke about or taken lightly. When someone begs, pleads, cries out for
help, please help them.
"You just might
save a life or more lives. Thank you, OAM.”
Nota 3 : Wasiat
tetapi tidak didedahkan.
Surat untuk suami Oreanna :
"XOXO. I’m so
sorry Brian. I was not strong enough for you or this family. My head is so
(expletive).
"I’m sorry for my
evil crime. I was not strong enough to fight these demons.

Boom. So depressed. Heart numb. Soul completely shattered.
"I am sorry I failed you. I am sorry I failed our handsome boys. I am so sorry I was not strong enough. OAM.”
