    About this ebook

     

    Not every woman is meant to be a good mother.

    Mommy Deadliest" is a bone-chilling true crime story that will leave readers reeling with shock and horror. It delves into the twisted mind of Martha Johnson, a seemingly ordinary mother who committed the most heinous of crimes.

    Martha Johnson's life seemed perfect from the outside - a loving husband, a beautiful home, and four adorable children. But beneath the surface, her marriage was crumbling, and Martha's sanity was slowly slipping away.

    Whenever Martha had a fight with her husband, she took out her anger on her children. One by one, she killed them, in a twisted bid for revenge. With each murder, Martha's mental state deteriorated further, until she became a complete monster.

    The book paints a vivid picture of the events leading up to Martha's final act of depravity, which left her entire family dead. It explores the aftermath of the crime, as well as the investigation that brought Martha to justice.

    "Mommy Deadliest" is a haunting account of one woman's descent into madness and the devastation it brought upon her family. It is a gripping and chilling read that will leave readers questioning the boundaries of human evil.

      Mommy Deadliest - Rod Kackley

      Preface

      In Medea, an ancient Greek tragedy that tells the story of the myth of Jason and Medea, Jason abandons Medea, a former princess of the kingdom of Colchis, for a Greek princess of Corinth.

      Medea gets her revenge by killing Jason’s new wife and the children she had with him.

      So, mothers killing their children to seek vengeance for a wrong committed against them by their husbands is not a new concept.

      Phillip J. Resnick, a professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University’s Medical School, told the Washington Post there are five reasons mothers kill their children.

      The first is altruistic filicide,’ when a mother kills because she believes she is saving her child a fate worse than death. The second is fatal maltreatment filicide when a child dies from abuse or neglect. The third reason,unwanted child filicide, pretty much speaks for itself. The fourth is acutely psychotic filicide," in which the mother hears voices directing her to kill her children.

      Finally, there is spouse revenge filicide in which the mother is seeking revenge against the children's father after being abandoned for another woman; which is the story of Medea’s double murder.

      While psychiatrists can academically list reasons that mothers have been known to kill their children, it is still a crime that Society views with revulsion.

      Momma is the loving person, the giving person, the sacrifice person — for them to do something like that is like denying God or something, said Bobby Hicks, a former deputy sheriff, who was the first to interview Susan V. Smith.

      She’s the South Carolina woman who killed her two children in 1994 by letting her car rolling a lake with the toddlers inside. She left the world and Bobby Hicks to wonder,

      How could a mother do that to her children?

      Sgt. Kenneth Stewart helped Martha Ann Johnson dry her tears. They were sitting side-by-side in a small, windowless room, at a hard, wooden table. The room was devoid of any decoration except for a large clock that hummed above the only entrance, and there was a shelf of boxes on the wall opposite Stewart and Martha Ann.

      Her distress was understandable. After all, the thirty-four-year-old woman was facing
