The woman who killed her own daughter to protect her from aliens: Darla Elizabeth Hayes

The history of mankind is full of dozens of interesting murder cases. However, a murder committed in the Hot Springs region of Virginia in the United States in February 2017 claims to be one of the most extraordinary and interesting murders in history. Because in this sad murder case, a mother named Darla Elizabeth Hayes kills her 6-year-old daughter and aliens. Let’s look at the details together.

Residents of the city of Hot Springs, Virginia, USA, woke up on the morning of February 4, 2017 from the sound of gunshots.

The voices came from the house where 27-year-old Darla Elizabeth Hayes and her two children lived together. Residents of Hot Springs, unaccustomed to the sounds of gunshots in the area where they lived, reported it to the police in fear and panic.

When the police arrived at the house, they found the lifeless body of a 6-year-old girl named Abigail Grace Hayes.

The little girl was killed with a shotgun. The police rescued the 3-year-old boy alive and handed him over to other family members. Police have opened a murder investigation in which 6-year-old Abigail died. However, it didn’t take long for them to find out the killer and the motive for the murder.

Darla Elizabeth Hayes, who was detained as part of the investigation, made chilling statements during interrogation.

He confessed to killing his own 6-year-old daughter. But the motive for the murder was even more mysterious than this unthinkable confession. Darla Elizabeth Hayes killed Abigail to protect her own daughter from aliens! Hayes continued his interrogation, stating that his 6-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son are being threatened by aliens and therefore he believes they are in great danger.

As the 27-year-old mother put it, “The only thing she could do to protect her children from aliens was send them to heaven!”

Darla Elizabeth Haise’s story naturally led to the young woman being sent to a mental hospital.

Hayes continued to make extraordinary claims in the hospital. He informs the doctors that aliens have taken over his body and asks them to save him from the aliens. An investigation at the hospital revealed that Hayes had used methamphetamine and marijuana a few weeks earlier. Doctors diagnosed a woman who killed her own daughter with “narcotic psychosis and post-traumatic stress disorder.”

His lawyers argued that Haise could not be charged with murder due to his psychosis and stress disorder.

Moreover, they demanded that he confess to the murder under the influence of drugs, so his statement should not be considered valid. However, Darla Elizabeth Haise was arrested and sent to prison for crimes such as first-degree murder, use of a firearm, and possession of drugs.
