West Virginia law enforcement said a mother who shot and killed her five kids before burning down their home and killing herself last year was reportedly obsessed with witchcraft.
During a recent press conference, Greenbrier County Sheriff Bruce Sloan said 25-year-old Oreanna Antoinette Myers killed her three kids and two stepchildren at their home near Williamsburg on December 8.
As the Associated Press (AP) reported:
Myers’ husband stayed with relatives instead of at home during the work week due to transportation issues, Sloan said. Text messages between Myers and her husband showed that his absence during the week had been “a tremendous source of contention” between them.
The West Virginia mother who allegedly murdered five children and killed herself was deeply interested in witchcraft, occult practices and had even performed some rituals, The Sun reports.
The new revelations emerge after the newspaper spoke with the stepmother of some of the children killed and a local law enforcement officer.
Investigators believe that 25-year-old Oreanna Myers murdered the children with a shotgun, set fire to the family’s farmhouse, and then fatally shot herself on December 8.
Three of the children were hers and two others were her stepchildren.
Raven Bumgarner, 27, the mother of the two stepchildren, 7-year-old Shaun and 6-year-old Riley, told The Sun that Myers had a “bizarre” obsession with witchcraft, spiritualism and engaged in other unusual practices, such as keeping dead butterflies in jars.
