Oddest Ransom Note EVER: Mom Says She'll Kill Her OWN Kids If She Doesn't Get $10,000

Letter Claims Woman Will Kill Her Kids If TV Station Doesn't Pay Her $10,000

Saint Louis, Missouri - Authorities tried Friday to sort out the strange case of a letter demanding that a St. Louis television station pay a woman $10,000 or she would kill her children and possibly her ex-boyfriend.

The 29-year-old woman whose name was signed to the note denied writing it, Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke said. She was arrested on unrelated traffic warrants and released on bond while state officials took temporary custody of her two children. The sheriff said a handwriting expert will be consulted.

"The whole thing is pretty weird," Toelke said.

The letter to KPLR (Channel 11) gave a return address in the Sleepy Hollow Trailer Court in Villa Ridge, Toelke said.

It arrived Thursday with a signature and what appeared to be a Social Security number at the bottom, according to KPLR News Director Sheldon Ripson.

The note gave the station three to four weeks to provide the money but did not say how to deliver it. There was no clue to why it went to Channel 11. Ripson said nobody there recognized her name.

The one-page document, filled with misspellings and abbreviations, said she needed money because she "was in dept," Toelke said, probably meaning debt.

"The alarming thing was that she said she was going to kill her children," Toelke said. "It's a good possibility that nothing was going to happen. But you can't be too sure … As bizarre as it sounds, there are people bizarre enough that they might do this, so you can't take any chances."
