Missing Frisco mom found dead in SUV; children alive

[jw33]

Solid police work. She was 2 miles from home...

If this is the target I'm thinking of it is right across the street from mckinney PD.

I would put money on her being a prescription drug addict.

Yup. My guess is depression and ODed on pills.

It's the Target at Custer & 121. The family lives in Lawler park and the Walgreens is at Custer and Stacy. I'm off Custer just south of that Walgreens.

So it was AdamLX, in the target parking lot, with the candlestick.

The police didn't find her despite what it says. A coworker and friend of mine stopped there earlier in the day to make some phone calls and return a few emails. That's the spot where he meets everyone when we ride together. As he was there on the phone, he saw kids and wondered who would leave kids in the car like that? He looked closer and saw the mom there appearing to be resting, so he didn't think much else of it. He finished his day, went home, and had no kid activities so he watched the news for a change. He saw the story about the missing woman, and it didn't sit well. He backed up the show to get the license plate number and went back to the Target to check. It matched and he called the police. He's a little shook up over it.

Interesting story and glad to see the news helping with something positive. This story could be worse if the kids passed too.

Damn, that's crazy. He saved 3 lives, that is something positive.

Yeah that is nothing to beat himself up over. Most of us wouldn't have gone up and checked closer either if we saw that same thing. I would have probably saw the mom there and moved on as well.

My brother found this guy , he was there for some time and no one noticed

I'm going out on a limb and guess she tried to kill the kids with the sleeping pills mixed into their mcdonalds and it wasn't a high enough of a dosage for them to OD

I've been at the 121 and custer store when I was doing LP work for target, the cameras don't go that far out into the parking lot but they should be able to see a blur showing the car and when it was left, if everything was still set correctly.

The 5 year old and the kids in the car, if I disregard the post saying his friend found them with the kids outside the vehicle, if properly buckled the 5 year old still would have been in a booster seat as required by law making it pretty difficult to get out, but an average 5 year old would wiggle free.

Also Walgreens could have messed up her prescription or she misunderstood the dosing. The window shades were up in the window if she was drowsy she could have pulled over to nap from the medication and unknowingly died. Being that far back in the lot she definitely wasn't there shopping

[Captain Crawfish]

Maybe she parked out there to keep the lazy asses from tearing up her car? I know I do that most of those bullshitters wont come out there that far to screw up your ride. Interested to see the autopsy report and cause of death

[4king]

With 3 kids even if she was one of those work out mom's she would have parked next to the cart corral to strap the kids in so she didn't have to drag them through the parking lot

[yellowstang]

Sounds like what a friend of mine did right before Xmas. Took some pills, pulled into a store parking lot and went to sleep till she died. She however, left her kids with a baby sitter, didn't bring them with her.

[93LXHORSE]

Yes but the prescription she picked up was for eczema, for one of the kids. How does that figure into the mom's death?
