North Texas woman, Sarah Nicole Henderson, confessed to investigators that she had planned to murder her two young daughters for at least two weeks. Her husband, Jacob Henderson, who was also said to be targeted in the plot, survived and reported the fatal shootings of the girls to police.
Henderson, 29, was arrested after her husband called 911 to report the shootings on their young daughters, ages 5 and 7, early Thursday morning at their home near Mabank, a town about 55 miles southeast of Dallas.
The woman was charged with one count of capital murder, but Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse said another capital murder charge is pending and other charges are possible. Her bond was set Friday at $2 million, and she was being held at the Henderson County Jail on suicide watch, Hillhouse said.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends at this difficult time.
