Blair blamed the incident on the lewd acts they performed on her youngest son. She claims to have. caught the boy sexually assaulting her youngest. She later found out her daughter was guilty of engaging in the same behavior.
A neighbor, Tori Childs, confirms she was told that same story by Blair, just before the arrest. Childs told 7 Action News, she wanted to save the kids but was unaware they were dead for some time.
Blair has not yet received charges. However, according to law enforcement, assigned to the case, she is scheduled to undergo a mental competency examination soon.
