Excerpt
Are You There Alone? : The Unspeakable Crime of Andrea Yates
Prologue I can tell you with certainty that on June 18, 1999, at precisely 1:30 in the afternoon, Andrea Yates had been quietly sitting in the dayroom of the Methodist Hospital and fifteen minutes earlier she had been sleeping in her hospital bed. That on August 5, 1999, she sat with her consulting doctor at Memorial Spring Shadows Glen Hospital and said no to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). I can tell you that on April 4, 2001, at 1:00 in the afternoon, she was drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with chocolate milk through a straw. That nurses watched every day as her husband came to the hospital and tried to feed her the same drink. I can tell you that on May 5, 2001, she went to group therapy and said nothing. When she got a little better, she introduced herself in group as "Andrea, Depression." At 9:00 am on June 20, 2001, she was sitting at her kitchen table in suburban Houston uncharacteristically eating Corn Pops out of the box while her children watched morning cartoons. Between 9:00 am and 9:45 am the same day, she went into her guest bathroom and, calling her children to her one at a time, drowned them. I can trace the steps of her body in exacting detail; knowing the mind of Andrea Yates was the challenge.
