Army Wife Tries to Kill Husband, Instead, Kills Two Young Children

From Seattle PI:

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- An Army wife accused of setting her apartment on fire botched an attempt to collect on her husband's $400,000 insurance policy when he survived and her two children died instead, a federal prosecutor said.

Billi Jo Smallwood, 35, was denied bond at a Friday hearing in northeast Georgia, where she appeared on federal charges of damaging government property by fire.

"She set fire to her own home in hopes of killing her husband and wound up killing her kids," Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Gabay-Smith said.

::shakes head:: What an awful story. Gay couples in Arkansas who would love to have a family can't adopt kids. Unfortunately, crazy, irresponsible bio moms everywhere are permitted to raise their children with no questions asked.

Rest in peace, Sam and Rebekah
