Hey Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re diving into a case that is as heartbreaking as it is complex—the story of Andrea Yates. In 2001, in Houston, Texas, Andrea Yates drowned her five young children in the bathtub of their family home.

What followed was a case that shook the nation, not only because of the unimaginable tragedy, but because of the deeper questions it raised about severe postpartum mental illness, religion, and the failures of the systems meant to protect both mothers and their children. 

In this episode, we carefully walk through the timeline, the warning signs, the trial, and the ongoing conversations about mental health that continue to surround this case.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!
