It strains credulity, prosecutor Kevin Hathaway says, that Rossibeth Rosie Flores-Rodriguez would kill her own two children before threatening and ultimately being killed by her landlord. This woman loved her kids. They were her life, the assistant Polk County attorney said Friday. She came to a place where she had nothing, where she knew no one, and she did it for them.
