Missing Mother And Children Found Froz To Death
A sheriff’s deputy sent to search for a Detroit-area mother and her two young sons whose bodies were later found frozen to death in a field has resigned. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the resignation of a deputy on January 22, who was being investigated for not doing a thorough search of an area after police were reached about a mother and her children who were outside and underdressed for the cold weather. Moreover, the deputy’s identity was not revealed.
The bodies of Monica Cannady, 35, Kyle Milton, 9, and Malik Milton, 3, were found on January 15 in Pontiac after Cannady’s 10-year-old daughter went to a home near the field and informed someone her family was dead.
The Mother Is Suffering From Mental Health Issues
Cannady had been encountering mental health issues and family members were trying to get her psychiatric care. Before Cannady’s death and her children, she always believed that someone was trying to kill her and everybody was in on it, Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters.
Authorities first were notified about the family on January 13 and during that time Cannady refused help. The family was spotted again later that afternoon and a deputy was sent to check an area about 20 miles northwest of Detroit, for the family.
The area in Detroit was not thoroughly searched and the deputy also did not locate or make contact with them, the sheriff’s office said. Other deputies later searched that day but also failed to locate the family.
