Texas mom accused of drugging, killing 6-year-old child to cash in on insurance policies
A Texas woman was seeking to cash in on her son’s life insurance policies when she gave the 6-year-old boy a lethal dose of medication that caused him to hallucinate before he died from an overdose, authorities said Thursday. Ashley Marks, 25, was charged with capital murder this week in the June 2020 death of Jason Sanchez-Marks in Houston, according to prosecutors and local media reports.
