> [@JKellyMap](#): > > There’s that case of the American med student who dated an older Canadian woman. After he broke up with her, she tracked him down and killed him..and then gave birth to their son. While the extradition process took its sweet time, she eventually shared custody with the eternal grandparents…until she killed herself and the child, too. She was probably going to go to jail soon, so killing herself made some sense, but it’s probable that she killed the CHILD partly to make the paternal grandparents suffer. > > It’s recounted well in a documentary called “Dear Zachary.”. I guess I should have used spoiler tags…sorry. The ending hit my wife and I like a ton of bricks. I know this thread is a zombie, but I saw that documentary. God lord was it agonizingly sad. ---
