[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I live in Houston, and the media circus with this is intense. First of all, the Harris County Sheriff's Department is refusing to release the results of the pregnancy test that is given to all female inmates as they are processed into the jail. It's a matter of confidentiality, they say. However, the department does have media leaks, and the story about Andrea Yates being pregnant yet again is false. At least, according to the local news the story is now confirmed as a rumor. The story essentially goes as this so far: the Yates family lived in a suburb of Houston called Clear Lake. The father, Russell Yates, worked for NASA, and the mother, Andrea Yates, stayed home to care for and school their children. At the time this happened, they had five children ages 7 years to 6 months. Andrea Yates has had a history of mental illness. She developed post-partum depression after the birth of her fourth child nearly two years ago. She was prescribed on three anti-depressants and one anti-psychotic drug prior to this tragedy. Her doctor, for reasons unknown, took her off of the anti-psychotic drug and replaced it with another anti-depressant. On the day this happened, Andrea Yates took her five children and drowned them in the bath tub one at a time. As she was drowning the fourth child, the oldest son walked in on her. She chased him through the house, grabbed him, and drowned him, too. After this, Andrea Yates called her husband at NASA and told him to come home immediately. All she told him was that something had happened to the kids. She then called the Sheriff's department and asked for them to do a welfare check on her home. The Sheriff deputy arrived at the house and found the children. The father arrived home as the medical examiner arrived. Andrea Yates is currently in the county jail on suicide watch. The funerals for the five children were held yesterday. Yes, it is an extremely sad story. :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
