MO - Tasha Haefs, 35, Decapitated 6 yr old Son & Dog, Kansas City, 16 Feb 2022

[Jewels53]

A Kansas City, Missouri, mom decapitated her six-year-old son and a dog, according to police.

"The community now knows some of the terrible details of the death of this 6-year-old child," Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement. "It takes our breath away."

Tasha Haefs allegedly called 911 on Tuesday night telling authorities that she believed the devil was trying to attack her, KCTV reported. She denied having a mental illness before hanging up the phone.

Officers arrived at her home and found blood on the front steps and could hear a woman singing. The woman allegedly sang louder as they knocked on the door.

One officer saw what appeared to be a severed head inside the residence. Authorities went through the backdoor and found Haefs with blood on her legs and feet.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 35-year-old woman is charged in the death of her 6-year-old son.

Prosecutors charged Tasha Haefs with first-degree murder and armed criminal action less than a day after she was arrested at a home in the 7300 block of Indiana Avenue.

Kansas City police were dispatched to Haefs home shortly before midnight Tuesday night.

In the application police submitted to get a search warrant, officers said a woman in the home called for help, said someone was trying to harm her, and “the devil was trying to attack her.”

Court documents show officers noticed what appeared to be blood leading to the front door of the house. Documents also showed officers heard a woman singing loudly who refused to answer the door. The louder they knocked, the louder she sang.

Court paperwork shows that an officer looked inside a window home and saw what he thought was part of a child’s deceased body. They also learned there were three children known to live in the house.

Tasha Haefs

 

[Jewels53]

They describe Karvell as a boy who loved going to the park and playing in the snow. They wrote that Karvell loved school and watching TV with his two siblings. His favorite food was the original Popeyes Chicken sandwich and fries.

Prosecutors charged Karvel’s mother, 35-year-old Tasha Haefs, with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in his death.

Police identify 6-year-old boy killed in Kansas City home

@Niner Karvel was the little boys name. I won't put his last name here it is in the article, don't believe it belongs in the thread. jmo

Okay - I don't need his last name anyway. Plus I can't access those Fox articles you have posted... and I shall await for her next court date from you.

The Kansas City Star as of yesterday has alot of information on Tasha Haefs.

Unable to link so I won't quote. They did interview Haef's own mom. Absolutely worth reading if it can prevent an atrocity like this. Poor kid. I can't imagine his fear.

Here is a link to the article @Filly mentioned above: https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article258567118.html

Some relevant parts:

“Relatives of Tasha L. Haefs, the Kansas City mother accused of killing her 6-year-old son this week, say she spent years working through drug addiction, depression and severe trauma. But from their perspective, she seemed relatively fine to them in the days leading up to the homicide. And they were shocked to learn the horrific details of the crimes leveled against her after police found her covered in blood in the kitchen of her rental home…..”
*****
“Cherie Haefs, Haefs’ mother, told The Star her daughter had in recent weeks been dealing with family strains in Kansas City. She said she believes her daughter was recently experiencing hallucinations and breaks with reality. Cherie Haefs, also of Sioux City, said she spoke with her daughter’s boyfriend, who is the father of her two eldest grandchildren, by phone on Friday from the halfway house where he is currently living. She said they’re working to find legal help for Haefs in the criminal case. “He enlightened me with a lot of problems that Tasha was having that he was helping her with,” Cherie Haefs said, adding that she had trekked down to Kansas City on other occasions when her daughter had difficulty describing “what was happening with her thoughts.”
*****
“Cherie Haefs said her relationship with her daughter has mostly been over the phone as they live hundreds of miles apart. She said she has at some points seen her daughter display warning signs that something was wrong, though she does not believe she ever sought mental health counseling. And in the aftermath of Karvel’s death she’s begun to hear more stories that have raised alarm. She recently heard from her older grandson that Tasha Haefs had shown up to a Kansas City relative’s house. She heard her daughter was talking about “a straight-up devil house” that was “full of devil” and yelling at a relative about putting her and the children in a bad situation. “Her son was standing there. She looked straight at him and said, ‘Like this devil,’” Cherie Haefs said. Tasha Haefs has spent most of her life in Sioux City. Her relationship with her biological family was fractured at several points.”
