Amish Woman Accused of Drowning 4-Year-Old Son Told Deputies She "Gave Him to God"

The episode describes a tragic event at Atwood Lake in Ohio, where Ruth R. Miller, an Amish woman, was charged with aggravated murder after allegedly drowning her 4-year-old son, Vincen, and is also connected to the earlier drowning of her husband, Marcus J. Miller, in the same lake. Authorities attribute these events to a "spiritual delusion" affecting Ruth Miller, leading her to believe she was acting under divine instruction. The case highlights the complex interplay of mental health challenges within the Amish community, legal proceedings involving a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, and the broader need for improved mental health awareness and support systems in insular communities. The incident also explores the impact on the surviving children and the community's response to this unprecedented tragedy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.
