Two young siblings are fed sleeping gummies before they are shot in their beds.
Brooklyn is just five years old. Her sister, Sharon, is 15. The shooter is their mother, Veronica Youngblood. Prosecutors say the murders were an attempt by the 37-year-old to 'get revenge' on her ex-husband.
Ron Youngblood retired from the military, and despite the divorce, the entire family planned to move to Missouri. Veronica Youngblood would get an apartment near Ron Youngblood's new home. As the time to move grew nearer, Veronica Youngblood changed her mind. Ron did not.
Brooklyn was shot in the head as she slept. Sharon was shot in the chest and back. Sharon managed to call 911, telling the dispatcher that her mother shot her. Veronica Youngblood ran, but even as she did she called her ex-husband, Ron Youngblood, to tell him that she'd shot the children and she hated him.

Levi Axtell, a Minnesota man, murdered elderly Lawrence V. Scully, whom he accused of stalking his young daughter. Scully was convicted in 1979 of sexually assaulting a 6 year old girl and went to prison for 2 years. When carrying out the crime, Axtell used unconventional weapons in his attack – a shovel and a large moose antler – leaving a gruesome crime scene behind.
In this episode of Body Bags, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the perplexing case of a brutal attack involving a shovel and moose antlers. They explore the difficulties faced by forensic investigators in differentiating between injuries caused by these unconventional weapons, while also examining the chaotic nature and rapid timeline of the assault, as well as the psychological aspects driving the attacker to use such odd weapons, and how the investigation unfolded in this bizarre and gruesome case.
