In September 2024 29 year old Samantha Garnier was killed by her husband Drew Garnier in Masonville, New York. She was five months pregnant and he killed their unborn child too.

As well as killing his wife and unborn child Garnier also stabbed his two daughters who were 9 years old and 6 years old at the time. Thankfully they both survived.

Garnier was found guilty of manslaughter and two counts of first degree assault in a deal with prosecutors and will serve 30 years in prison.
