I feel like someone put something upon my house or me or something like I just don't feel right. I don't do this. I don't care. >> This is 32-year-old Tiffany Lucas. Just 2 hours ago, police found her unconscious on the street while her two sons lay shot and barely alive inside her home. >> Get on that chest. >> God, do that. fired at least three that I can see, but four. >> Yeah, it looks like both of them had several one had a double path. >> Investigators initially assumed it was a home invasion, but things took a dark turn as strange reports from neighbors began to surface along with a past husband's unsolved murder and a dangerously paranoid mother at the center of the tragedy. What are you doing? I'm winning. I know I'm winning. It was around 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday when Shepard'sville dispatch received a call from a distressed neighbor. >> County 911, where is your emergency? >> Uh, my neighbor just came up to my door and just passed out and I can't get her to wake up. She just started screaming that her kids are dying. 502 68 9. She is coming in and out of consciousness. She's laying in our in my driveway right now. I'm with her. >> Who was that? That was screaming. >> Her. >> Okay. What's your >> My husband is going in there. My name is Sarah. >> County 911. Dispatch, what is the address of your emergency? >> Hello. >> My wife's on the phone. The kid I just went there at our neighbor's house. The kid, he's on the bed. He's all bloody. >> There's a kid on the bed all bloody. >> Yeah, in that neighbor's house. She told us that he's okay. He's breathing. So, he's okay. He's >> so 233. >> It's okay, buddy. You okay? I don't know. He's probably sick. There's blood. Oh, the bed. There's a gun. >> There's two of them. They're both here. They're breathing. >> There's two children. >> Yes, ma'am. You all right, bud? >> Maybe awake. >> Respondive. He's He's breathing now. With the situation sounding chaotic and extremely dire, police and DMS units were immediately dispatched to the area, not realizing the horrific scene awaiting them inside the house. Get on that chest. There you go. >> Where's your work, buddy? >> Are you still breathing? >> Okay. Inside the home, first responders found two boys, 6-year-old Maurice and 9-year-old Jaden. Both critically wounded, struggling to breathe after suffering multiple gunshots. Did we see a no has been seen yet? I >> mean, don't just >> uh there's a dog right here. It's >> interesting. >> He's been there the whole time. >> Fired at least three that I can see, but four. >> Yeah, it looks like both of them had one had a double tap. >> Okay. >> The one I had I only seen one looked like it went in the back and out the front. >> Okay. Well, there she's got there's four shots for sure that I can see taking some more. Come here. Come here. It's okay. It's okay. Come here. It's okay. Come here. >> The bedroom was in complete disarray with trash and clothing scattered everywhere. On the bloodstained sheets, police found four shell casings indicating the children were likely shot while sleeping. Officers also discovered a gun hidden beneath the pillows and no evidence pointing to a break-in or a home invasion. Naturally, suspicion quickly shifted towards the children's mother, 32-year-old Tiffany Lucas. It was Tiffany herself who indirectly triggered the 911 call, wandering over to a neighbor's home and collapsing in their front yard. Given the strange circumstances, officers detained Tiffany just outside the house, finding her semi unconscious and soaked in her own urine. Is she conscious? Is she conscious? >> One, two, three. >> Have you taken anything? >> Have you been drinking? Then why can't you stand up? >> You just don't feel like it, huh? >> Because I don't feel right. >> Don't feel right. >> Okay. >> Pretty quickly, the officer noticed something unsettling about Tiffany's demeanor. She appeared agitated yet strangely detached. An unusual reaction from a mother whose children were nearly just killed minutes earlier. As Tiffany was placed into the back of a police cruiser, detectives arrived and began questioning neighbors, searching for anything that might explain what happened. That's when a man stepped forward claiming he spoke with Tiffany the night before and noticed something very strange the detectives needed to hear. So, yesterday me and Nick was about 3 about 3:15, 3:00ish, can't tell you exactly. And sitting in the garage just hanging out. I have the TV and and I seen a shadow cuz my truck I park it usually on the right side of the driveway and I'm like well who's that? But I couldn't see cuz he was in the way and she came from the side of my truck. She's like hello. I'm like hey you know I was literally like hey what's what's going on? She's like uh can I borrow your phone? Uh my phone's not working. And I said absolutely. And she said I just need my neighbors. And um she's like well I need to use your phone. I said okay. Um, I can tell you the number. She called two numbers from my phone. No, none of the numbers seemed like answered, but she then handed me my phone back. So then she said, "Thank you." Turned around, started walking away, and I'm like, she stopped right at the end of my driveway, looked up, literally like looked up in the sky and maybe thought what I said. I don't know. And then just went sat in her yard. And me and Mickey looked at each other. And I said, "Mickey, get Dee to go over there and talk to her." I kind of let the lady tried to see if the ladies could handle that situation, you know, like being female female. So, she seemed okay, but I thought something was off. I felt like something was clearly off. >> The neighbors observations pointed detectives towards two possibilities. Either Tiffany had suffered a psychotic episode and attacked her children, or someone connected to the unknown number she called had influenced her into committing it. The latter possibility would soon reveal itself as a twisted version of the truth. But for now, it was becoming clear that Tiffany was involved in the shooting and something had pushed her to do it. Shortly after arriving at the police station, Tiffany was scanned with a metal detector. And it was then that the neighbors concerns began to manifest in Tiffany's behavior. >> Earrings. >> I shot myself. >> Huh? >> I shot myself in the head. >> You what? >> Shot myself in my ear. >> You shot yourself in the ear? >> What's here? [Music] I don't see anything. There's no there's nothing there. >> Okay. Okay. >> Following Tiffany's unexpected statement, medics examined her but found no injuries. Certainly not a gunshot wound. At this point, detectives had no doubt Tiffany was the shooter. the lack of forced entry, neighbors describing her strange and erratic behavior, and most telling, her implied confession, claiming she'd tried to shoot herself with the very same weapon. All investigators needed now was a clear confession, a motive, and whether anyone else played a role. So, before beginning the interview, detectives looked deeper into Tiffany's background and discovered interesting details. Tiffany was a business owner in 2016, only to go bankrupt a year later. She also lost custody of her children in 2018 due to drug use. But most troubling of all, her husband was the victim of a homicide in 2019, and the killer was never caught. With this information in mind, the officer prepared Tiffany for an interview. However, extracting an admission from her would soon become the least of their concerns. But before we continue, sometimes the most devastating injuries are the ones you can't see. That's what happened in 2018 when Chad Fesa was rearended at a red light in Sanford, Florida. Despite suffering severe spinal injuries, his insurance company offered just $100,000 and even hired investigators to film him coaching his kids' baseball teams. That's when he turned to the sponsor of today's video, Morgan and Morgan. Their attorney fought through two trials and secured a $6.1 million verdict for Chad. Just like Chad, if you're seriously hurt because of someone else's negligence, you deserve to be paid. But getting fair compensation isn't easy. That's why Morgan and Morgan exists. They don't settle for lowball offers. They fight for the maximum compensation you deserve if you end up working with them. And crucially, unless they win your case, the fee is absolutely free. There are no upfront costs or hidden charges. You pay nothing if they don't win for you. They won $12 million for a car crash victim in Florida and $26 million in Philadelphia. Wondering if you have a case? It takes only a few minutes to find out.

With that said, let's get back to the investigation. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Come on up. Sit up. Sit up. Sit up. Sit up. Sit up. You all right? Sit up. Sit up. Sit up. What's going on? >> H >> What's going on? >> Sit up. Sit still. Take a deep breath. Just take a deep breath for me. In your nose and out your mouth. You good? All right. Take a deep breath. I don't want you to fall over again. >> Stop. >> Stop. >> Move your fingers. >> That's mean. >> I'm watching you on camera. Move your fingers. >> You're watching >> several times. Yeah. >> Move my fingers. How? >> Every time. Go. You keep moving them. Stop. >> You mean changing my hand positions and stuff? That's just me. >> No, you're doing it. >> Don't do that. >> No. >> Yeah. Yeah, you are. I'm watching. >> So, what is that doing for you? >> It's not right. Stop. >> What's not right? >> You. >> How's it not right? >> Look at the c It's not a camera. >> I know. There's a camera. I'm wearing a camera. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> See, >> I don't sit still. >> Yeah. Every time a noise is in the background, your fingers are moving. >> I move. That's what I do. I don't sit still. >> To every sound you move. >> Mhm. >> To every footstep that you hear >> Mhm. You move your fingers. >> I'm not an idol person. I don't move around. I don't >> So you walk to other people's footsteps then cuz that's what you're doing. >> You're walking to everyone else's. How do you know that? >> How do I know what >> other people's steps? >> Cuz I hear them out there. >> By now, Tiffany's behavior was becoming increasingly odd. She was paranoid and disturbingly indifferent towards her hospitalized children, not once even asking about their condition. But as the detective entered the interview room, he had no idea just how unhinged and bizarre her behavior was about to get. >> See, as soon as you walked in, >> why is it doing that? >> My phone. >> As soon as you walk in the door. >> That's weird, right? >> Weird. >> It's weird. As soon as people lock, sounds. That's not right. Let >> me shut this. You want me to shut this? >> It's not right. See, >> not for right now. >> Every time I say something, your phone's going off. >> I'm Believe me, I wish it wasn't going off. Well, I'm going to talk to you today about what happened earlier. Okay. But can can you um can you tell me a little bit about yourself? I mean, where are you from or where you grew up or anything like that? I know I look crazy, but I'm not. >> Huh? Cuz >> I know I look crazy, but I'm not crazy. >> I don't think you look crazy. I'm just trying to, you know, I if I'm going to talk to someone, I'd rather know who they are. You know, I can tell you a little bit about me. >> I love my children. >> You tell me a little bit about you. Okay. >> I love my children. I love my boys so much. I wouldn't hurt them, but I just feel like I I didn't I felt back and I I didn't I was letting them play the video games and I wasn't like focusing how I was supposed to, you know, and they get that video game and the YouTube and the kids. It just messes their minds up to where people can manipulate their parents or do whatever they want. And I feel like someone put something upon my house or me or something like I just don't feel right. I'm not like it's been I don't do this. I love my hair. [Music] >> Earlier you said something about PlayStation games or something. >> Yeah. >> What about it? I just feel like those games manipulate the children, you know, the YouTube and just haven't you ever heard anything like that before? >> I mean, yeah. >> Like I really feel like it is manipulating for the children and they get into the children's homes and, you know, break the families up. That's what I feel. >> I mean, you could be right. >> I am right. And I know I'm right. And you do, too. >> Yeah. >> You do. I mean, >> you just know >> the stuff that's on the internet that you have access to now is >> it's terrible for the kids and they need to stop. Like my kids are beautiful angels, you know? And >> Tiffany's bizarre claims of mind control and paranoia towards technology was a sign that there might be deeper, more disturbing motives behind the shooting. The detective was quickly realizing he was dealing with someone whose mental state was deteriorating by the minute. He needed to find a way to extract an admission from Tiffany and uncover the real reason behind the attack before things got even more unpredictable. But before he could press further, Tiffany unexpectedly introduced another person into the story. Someone she insisted was directly responsible for what had happened. >> Were they misbehaving earlier? >> No. Huh? >> They're perfect. >> They are. Do you know what happened to them today? >> Mhm. >> Can you talk to me about that? >> I just did. >> H >> I just did. >> Well, you said something about the PlayStation and YouTube and all that and which makes sense and understand. I >> don't I feel like someone tried to manipulate me through my phone, you know, manipulate me through my house doing stuff to me. >> What are they doing to you? manipulating my mind. Parker Borders. >> His name is Parker Borders. >> What about him? >> He lives in Bardstown. And I'm pretty sure he's been manipulating my mind for like 3 years. >> Really? >> Through my phone, putting up things in my house, like real evil, dark, weird stuff like trying to >> like trying to get you to do things. >> Yeah. Like alter my mind. Like completely like flip me. Like I'm a woman of God. I don't do >> I don't you don't hit hurt your children. You protect them. And I feel like I have to protect my children. >> Right. >> I would never do something like this unless someone manipulated me. >> So do you think you think Parker actually manipulated you into hurting your kids? Think so? Yeah. >> Mhm. Tiffany's claims about Parker borders immediately raised red flags for the detective. Extreme psychological manipulation isn't unheard of. Individuals have indeed been driven into horrific acts through isolation and emotional pressure. But whether Tiffany was truly a victim, an expert manipulator, or highly delusional remains to be seen. When pressed for more details, Tiffany began revealing disturbingly specific information about Parker Borders. Who is this Barker guy to you? Just a friend or >> like a sugar daddy type thing? So like it was betrayed off of revenge or something like that. >> Right. >> Before I had a friend who was with him and she mysteriously passed away in a car wreck and then now in my house you'll see there's like things like my car is going to get blown up. All these weird little like how stuff is all set up funny, you know, in my house like that. So, I just feel uncomfortable. I don't know. I feel like it's him. It's not me. It's not me. I'm right with God. So, I know it's not me. It's not in my mind. >> Yeah. >> It's not me. >> Did he provide you with a with a firearm? With a gun? >> Yes. It was his. >> So, that gun that was I guess in the house in the bedroom or whatever, that's his gun. >> Yes. >> Why' he give it to you? >> I don't know. >> How long ago did he give it to you? You remember? like years, months, days when >> I don't know. >> Don't remember. >> Been a while. >> Been a while. What do you remember him telling you in your mind to do or persuading you to do? >> It's happened once before. Like I got like a weird feeling like it just felt weird. And then here recently I just felt weird. I'm not like I'm a good mom. Like I'm a really good woman. I'm a good I'm a mother, you know. >> Mhm. >> I have veneers and everything. >> I'm sorry. I said I have veneers and everything. I don't look like this. >> Okay. >> Although the detective already knew that Tiffany was most certainly the one who pulled the trigger, her vivid claims that Parker Borders had supplied her with the gun and orchestrated the shooting couldn't be dismissed. With this in mind, the detective adjusted his approach, deciding to take her story at face value. If Tiffany truly was manipulated, she should have no problem admitting at the very least that she fired the gun. However, Tiffany had other thoughts in her mind. >> Do you remember um hurting your sons today? I'm not saying it's you. >> It's not me. >> It's not you. >> I know it's not me. I would never hurt my children, >> right? He's influencing you. >> Manipulating. >> Manipulating is your best word. >> Through the phones, Wi-Fi, all of that. Now, once he manipulated you and pushed you into doing this, what do you remember firing a weapon at them today? I mean, you remember that, right? No. I mean, you're being manipulated as you said. I understand that. But physically, you're the one who pull the trigger. Even though that's not you and somebody else is pushing you to do that or manipulating you to do that, you pull the trigger on the weapon. Is that correct? >> It's not correct. >> How did your sons get shot then? I >> just don't know. >> You don't know? >> I have no words. Don't have anything else to say. >> But do you think it was an accident today or did you mean to shoot him? Cuz if you think about it really there were only if you think about it there were only I guess two ways of thinking on something like that that it's an accident. You didn't want to hurt him. You didn't mean to hurt him or you're the bad mom who wants to hurt him. Sorry it's too late on the wall. Um, I don't think you're the bad mom that wanted to hurt him. So, you think it was which one? Do you think it was an accident that you hurt him today? I know it's a rough question, but I got to ask. You know, >> accident? >> I would hope so. >> I just can't talk. [Music] >> Take a minute. All right. Get your breath. >> I don't want to talk anymore. that I have nothing else to say. >> Even though she initially denied pulling the trigger, Tiffany eventually admitted that the shooting was an accident. Following her admission, Tiffany refused to talk further, leaving investigators uncertain about her true motive behind the shooting and if her claims about Parker Borders were real or just illusions. Fingerprint analysis revealed only Tiffany's prints on the weapon, confirming that she was the sole handler and directly implicating her in the crime. Additionally, police found no evidence supporting the existence of Parker Borders or the friend allegedly killed in a car accident, leading detectives to conclude both were likely constructs of Tiffany's mind. After her arrest, Tiffany said she had struggled with opioid addiction for nearly 10 years, starting after she was prescribed painkillers for dental work. As her condition worsened, she turned to fentanyl and became increasingly paranoid, convinced that she and her children were being watched and targeted by a human trafficking ring. Detectives later learned she had been off drugs for 10 days, likely worsening her hallucinations. believing she was protecting her children. She shot both sons, then tried to shoot herself, but the gun had jammed, which explains her earlier claim of being shot during a metal scan. As for her children, despite the medic's best efforts, Jaden and Maurice would tragically pass away from their injuries. Additionally, Tiffany was never linked to her husband's murder, and it remains unsolved to this day. On November 22nd, 2024, she pleaded guilty to killing her two children. She received two consecutive life sentences and will be eligible for parole in 2043. [Music]
