A woman has been acused of killing her own
son when she carried him on her shoulder
and threw over an Oregon bridge. According
to Crimescentral, she later dialed 911 on
her mobile phone following the incidence.
A mother accused of throwing her
son to his death from an Oregon
bridge posted cheery videos on
YouTube nearly a year ago of her
6-year-old boy holding a stuffed
toy lion while tossing coins in a
fountain to make a wish.
As darkness fell Monday, Jillian
McCabe parked her car at the
north end of the picturesque
Yaquina Bay Bridge in the coastal
Oregon town of Newport, took her
son in her arms, carried him to the
middle of the span and threw him
to his death in the water below, a
police affidavit said.
“I just threw my son over the
Yaquina Bay Bridge,” McCabe told
the dispatcher, according to a
probable cause affidavit filed by
police Tuesday.
She described her son, London
Grey McCabe, and the clothes he
was wearing, saying he was in the
water and gone. Later that night, a
body was reported in the water at
a bayside resort about a mile from
the bridge, and police said it was
that of the kindergartner.
“It’s a great tragedy,” said the
boy’s great aunt, Tanya McCabe.
