Mom watched 4-year-old son 'go under the water and pop back up' after ordering him and husband to die in lake to 'prove their worthiness': Cops
Story by Chris Perez • 19h
An Ohio mother accused of commanding her husband and 4-year-old son to "jump" in a lake as part of an alleged "spiritual delusion," resulting in both of their drowning deaths, was denied bond at a hearing on Monday, after police officials provided more details about how it all allegedly went down.
"God spoke to her and told her to throw Vincen into the lake and she did," said Detective Adam Fisher, with the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Office, about Ruth Miller's alleged drowning of her 4-year-old son Vincen Miller at Atwood Lake in east-central Ohio.
Miller is also accused of killing her husband, Marcus Miller, by ordering him in the water as well. Her bond hearing was streamed by NBC affiliate WKYC.
"She described watching Vincen go under the water and pop back up," Fisher said. "At that moment, God spoke to her, questioning why she was still looking for Vincen after she had given him to God."
