New details have emerged in the case of a mother found shot dead in a car with her three young children in rural Michigan earlier Monday.
Authorities say 28-year-old Aubrianne Moore took her three daughters, eight-year-old Kyrie Rodery, six-year-old Cassidy Rodery and two-year-old Alaina Rau, out to a wooded area near Cedar Springs on February 18 and shot them with a hunting rifle.
She then loaded the children’s bodies back into her car, drove to her boyfriend’s home and shot herself. The boyfriend and father of the youngest daughter discovered the gruesome scene about an hour and a half later.

‘We don’t know what was going through her head, she didn’t leave a suicide note or anything like that,’ Kent County Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young said.

LaJoye-Young described the case as one of the most difficult that she’s had to handle in her 29 years in law enforcement.
‘This is one of the hardest cases I’ve ever heard about. This is a very difficult case,’ she said on Wednesday. ‘Our investigators are feeling it. It’s heartbreaking that something like this happened in our community.
‘I’m heartbroken for the family and for everybody involved and the community at large, because this is not something that’s easy for us to not wonder what could have been done differently, what could we have done to help.’

A GoFundMe campaign set up by Moore’s brother, Robert Graham, has raised more than $7,400 of the $15,000 target as of Thursday morning.
Graham said any money left over after funeral costs are covered will be used ‘for legal purposes – to examine how she was neglected by doctors and treated to a lesser degree of help than what she needed’.
Many of the comments on Moore’s Facebook page included references [image], about mental illness with many suggesting that not getting the help she needed.
Some of her own posts point to perhaps suffering she was experiencing and signs of mental illness, that may have triggered what Kent County Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young said was one of the most difficult cases she’s come across as a law enforcement officer.
