Mother of 4 charged with their murders
A prosecutor in Elkhart said he was considering seeking the death penalty against a mother charged with strangling her four children.
Angelica Alvarez, 27, was ordered jailed without bond on four counts of murder during a court hearing just hours after she was released from Elkhart General Hospital. She had been in the hospital since being found unconscious with a faint pulse on Nov. 14 next to the bodies of her children, ages 2 to 8.
Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hall would not say whether investigators had a theory on the motive.
