Brief Overview: Few crimes generate greater ambivalence than those where a mother murders her child. We are curious yet horrified at the same time. Not surprisingly then, the criminal justice system faces unique challenges when investigating and prosecuting these cases. Case studies and research findings of 250 newborn, infant and child homicides will be discussed.

Abstract: The NCAVC’s research on approximately 200 maternal filicide cases will be featured and reviewed to provide practical investigative suggestions, illustrate investigative challenges associated with this complex crime, and identify fundamental differences and similarities among cases. Women who have committed neonaticide (the killing of a child within the first 24 hours of birth), infanticide (the killing of child within the first year of life), and/or filicide (the killing of a child greater than one year of age) are included in the study.   

Using detailed case examples, the presenter will illustrate how the NCAVC has used research results to assist investigators and prosecute investigating filicide cases (e.g. interview strategies, media recommendations, insanity defense). In addition, the presenter will discuss the variations found between offenders’ motivations, criminal and psychiatric histories, suicide rates, victim’s prior abuse history and crime scene characteristics.
