How could a mother commit the unthinkable? Naomi Elkins, a 27-year-old New Jersey woman, stands accused of the most heinous crime imaginable: the drowning deaths of her two young daughters. The details emerging from Lakewood are as disturbing as they are heartbreaking, painting a picture of a mind consumed by delusion and violence.

The events of June 25, 2024, have sent shockwaves through the community and beyond. Elkins, who resided in a basement apartment on Shenandoah with her husband, Edward, and their two daughters, aged 1 and 3, allegedly committed the murders while her husband was away on a business trip. Before the tragic incident, Elkins reportedly worked at a daycare center, a detail that adds another layer of complexity to this already disturbing case.
