Angela Flores' neighbors noticed her weird behavior

Neighbors informed the publication that the 38-year-old woman was acting strangely on May 7, the night before she admitted to killing her children.

As per reports, Angela Flores was allegedly heard screaming, praying and lighting candles at other people's houses in the neighborhood.

Speaking to the outlet, neighbor Priscila Canales said:

“I heard someone screaming, ‘My family is abusing me,’ and all kinds of nonsense. I couldn’t make out what it was. I guess at that time she was in our neighbor’s yard … burning a candle and she had the Bible out.”

When paramedics arrived at about midnight and placed the woman, who had only been in the residence for two or three months, on a stretcher, Canales claimed she tried to wrestle herself free and asked about her Bible.

“She kept popping up, jumping up saying, ‘Where’s my Bible? Where’s my Bible?'”

Authorities have not revealed how the children were killed or given any insight into the crime's suspected motive. In an official statement, LA County District Attorney George Gascon said:

“The deaths of these three children are truly horrific and tragic. As a parent and a grandparent, I send my heartfelt condolences to the people who love them. We will continue to work with Los Angeles police detectives and my prosecutors will make a filing decision once they have reviewed all of the evidence.”

Angela Flores' ex-husband, Jacob Corona, claims she contacted him about a week before the children were killed and made strange statements. He said:

“She was telling me all this stuff about God. She didn’t sound right. I don’t really know what happened.”

According to Corona, the couple married in 2001 and divorced in 2007. He said they hadn't communicated regularly since their divorce. They had a kid together, although they were not among the deceased and did not reside with Flores.
