Debra Denison, a Connecticut
grandmother, allegedly shot and killed her two grandsons after picking them up
at day care in a shocking story.
Denison chatted with day care workers as
they helped load her two grandsons into her van after what had been a day full
of smiles prior to the tragedy.
Alton Perry, 2, was celebrating his
birthday.
Nothing seemed amiss, witnesses say, but
instead of taking the children home as planned, Denison vanished and left behind a suicide note.
After a frantic search, she and her
grandsons, 2-year-old Alton and 6-month-old Ashton Perry, were found shot to
death in an apparent murder-suicide.
"We've all gone over it in our
heads," said Nikki Salaun, who runs the day care center. "Did she say
something that we could have picked up on?"
"But no, there was nothing
alarming."
Relatives said Denison had struggled
with mental health problems, but family and friends were left struggling to
understand what could have prompted this.
Marcia White, a paternal
great-grandmother of the slain boys, said:
"She would go along and have
seasons where everything was A-OK, and other times when she would be depressed,
running to the doctor and getting prescriptions."
"She seemed to be doing well."
The boys' parents said Denison, 47,
often displayed signs of split personalities and some family members believed
she that she had bipolar disorder.
All three bodies were found in her
parked car in Preston, Conn.
