Mitchelle Blair killed two of her kids, stuffed them into a small deep freezer and left them there for almost three years.
In 2015, 35-year-old Mitchelle Blair was living with four kids, She was evicted from her flat. After she was evicted, she was always asking her relatives for money and wasn't able to keep a steady job.
But the calls stopped after they told her to get a job and go back to school.
She apparently disregarded their advice because on the morning of March 24, 2015 she was served an eviction notice. But she wasn’t there.
That’s when a crew from the 36th District Court went inside and began removing furniture from the home.
They found the deep freezer and when they opened it they found something that no person should ever have to see.
They found a teenage girl w.rapped in a big plastic bag, and under her, they found a body of a younger boy.
She was arrested.
When police took her away, they said she proclaimed, “I’m sorry.”
Meanwhile, authorities took the bodies to a morgue, so an autopsy could be performed. The children were identified as her kids Stephen Berry and Stoni Blair.
The medical examiner ruled their deaths homicides and determined that they had been in the freezer for at least 3 years.
In court, she told the judge that she did not feel any remorse over her actions. She told the judge, “I would k.ill them again.”
Mitchelle Blair confessed to the murders at the Wayne County Circuit Court. She told Judge Dana Hathaway that she killed her “demons” after finding out they were raping her youngest son – a claim that has never been substantiated.
Blair said she returned home one day in August 2012 to find her son simulating sexual activity using dolls. It was then Blair asked him, “Why are you doing that? Did anybody ever do this to you?”
When he told her that his brother Stephen had, she went upstairs to confront him. Blair said he confessed, and that’s when she began punching and kicking him before placing a rubbish bag over his head until he lost consciousness.
Blair stated that she repeatedly poured scalding hot water on his genitals, causing his skin to p.eel off. She later made Stephen drink W.index and wrapped a belt around her son’s neck, lifted him up, and asked, “Do you like how this feels, choked with a belt?” Blair said he lost consciousness again.
Nine months after murdering Stephen, Blair said she found out that her daughter Stoni was also raping her youngest son. That’s when she began starving Stoni and brutally beating her until she died in May 2013. She was going to turn herself into the police, she said, but when her youngest son told her that he didn’t want her to go, she made other arrangements. Blair put Stoni’s body in a plastic bag and stuffed her in the deep freezer on top of Stephen, and continued living in the home as if nothing were amiss.
Stephen and Stoni were in the deep freezer for almost three years, and no one looked for them. They had absentee fathers and Blair had previously taken them out of school. She told school officials that she was going to teach them at home. When neighbours asked about the children’s whereabouts, she always had an excuse.
Mitchelle Blair pleaded guilty in June 2015 to two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and is now serving a life sentence at the Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
