35-year-old Mitchelle Blair killed two of her children and stuffed them in the freezer for almost three years. The event, which took place in Detroit, Michigan, came to light when she was forced to evict the apartment she was staying at with her children due to non-payment of rent.
When the mother was questioned about the incident, she bluntly replied that her children were turning into "demons". She alleged that her children were sexually molesting her younger son so she decided to kill them.
Mitchelle was convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life-imprisonment. She is currently serving her sentence at the Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Michigan.
The spine-chilling story of Mitchelle Blair will be explored in Investigation Discovery's true-crime series Evil Lives Here. The episode titled I Made It Out Alive will air on January 29.
The synopsis of the episode reads as follows:
"For years, every time Gabi Blair walks past the freezer, she shudders at the thought of the horrors hidden inside; forced to keep secret her mother's crimes, she prays that someone will discover the truth before she becomes her mother's next victim."
