Jury selection begins for a woman who told Irving Police she drugged and smothered her daughters to protect them from abuse
Madison McDonald walked into an Irving police station at about 10 p.m. on April 5, 2021, and told police she killed her two children, 1-year-old Lillian Mae McDonald and 6-year-old Archer Hammond.
McDonald, who was 30 at the time, called 911 from the police station lobby and told an operator that she drugged and smothered her daughters. When officers met her in the lobby, she claimed her kids were being abused and that she would do anything to protect them, including"eliminating them." Video released by the Irving Police Department showed McDonald, in shorts, a sweatshirt, and a face mask, walking around the empty lobby for several minutes apparently looking for a phone or a police officer. Nearly 20 minutes after she arrived, three officers can be seen entering the lobby to talk with McDonald.
Officers were dispatched to the woman's home on the 700 block of Cowboys Parkway and confirmed that both of the children were deceased. "This is obviously a horrific incident where two children were murdered and we may not ever know the why. Right? Because there's not ever going to be a definition or a reason that would ever justify the murder of two small children," said Robert Reeves, with the Irving Police Department, in 2021.there's more to the story and that her children were her worldMcDonald is now facing two charges of capital murder.
