IN a copycat crime that’s stunned the nation, cops say a woman drowned two of her young sons in a bathtub.
Stay-at-home mom Laurel Schlemmer, 40, claimed “crazy voices” told her to sit on Daniel, 6, and Luke, 3, in the bathtub of their McCandless, Pa., home on April 1.
The despicable deed follows in the chilling footsteps of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001.
“Andrea Yates was committed to a mental health facility after being found not guilty by reason of insanity, and there’s a definite connection here,” said top criminal profiler Pat Brown.
“When one person commits a heinous act and fails to pay the full price, other people follow.”
