An Arkansas nurse who adopted her granddaughter* after her son's death in Iraq stabbed the 7-year-old girl in the chest and then set fire to their home in an apparent murder-suicide on January 9, 2012. Janice Robbins, 63, left a suicide note in her pickup truck before killing her granddaughter, Abby Robbins, and herself on Saturday, Faulkner County sheriff's spokesman Maj. Andy Shock said. In the note, she wrote that she didn't want to leave the girl behind.
Officials said there were no indications Robbins was in financial trouble. However, she had dealt with depression. Authorities found a gas can next to each of the bodies inside the lakeside home, which was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived early Saturday morning.
* It should be noted this case is dissimilar from others memorialized here since Robbins had become the child's mother.
