Andrea Yates Drowned her Five Children in the Bath | Postpartum Psychosis

Timestamp to start the case: (13:23)

In April 1993, Andrea and Russell ‘Rusty’ Yates were married. They told friends and family that they wanted to ‘have as many babies as nature allowed.’

Between 1995 and 2000, the couple had five children - four sons and a daughter.

Andrea struggled with her mental health. After the birth of their fourth child, Andrea was hospitalized and the couple were advised to not have any more children. Andrea’s doctor said that any more births would "guarantee future psychotic depression."

Despite this, the couple had a fifth child and Andrea’s mental health decline continued. She stopped taking all of her medication, she mutilated and cut herself, read the Bible obsessively and also stopped feeding the children.

Rusty had been advised to not leave Andrea alone with the children. Despite this, one morning in June 2001, Rusty left Andrea and the kids so that he could go to work. His mother was scheduled to arrive at the home one hour after he left.

In that hour, Andrea filled the bathtub and drowned all five of her children - they were aged between 7 months old and 7 years old at the time.

When police arrived at the home, Andrea was standing soaking wet in front of the house.

“I just killed my children,” she told the officers.
