Chilling surveillance footage shows Esther Thelus at a convenience store counter, purchasing a red gas canister and a lighter that deputies say she later used to set herself and her children on fire.
According to deputies, Thelus had two children — a 2-year-old son, whose name has not been released, and 9-month-old Davinci Joseph. Investigators said Thelus planned to move to South Florida with Davinci but wanted to leave her older child with his father. However, the father and his mother reportedly requested a DNA test before taking custody, which deputies said was the "humiliation" that led Thelus to the tragic act.
