The US mother started a 'suspicious' fire which killed herself and her children
The father of two children who were killed when their mother -- a Missouri teacher of the year -- set fire to their home in a murder-suicide that also killed twins said his kids were “the greatest gift.”
The family of a celebrated Missouri educator who killed herself and her four children Monday say she was driven to “darkness” due to “spurious litigation and unfounded allegations” by her former boyfriend and ex-husband.
Bernadine "Birdie" Pruessner set a mattress on fire and left a note saying she intended to take her life and her children’s lives, police say.
Hours before the mother is accused of killing her children, she wrote on Facebook she was “blessed” to be their mother. “Us against the world,” she said in the post.
