Mother Accused in Children's Deaths is ID'd
The woman accused of killing her two children has been identified as a 42-year-old resident of Scottsdale, Ariz.
Police were investigating on Sunday why Marilyn Edge was in Southern California when she allegedly killed her two children -- a 13-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl -- left their bodies in a hotel room and then tried to kill herself.
She was in jail on murder charges in connection with killing her son and daughter, officials said. Their bodies were found Saturday morning in a third-floor room of a Santa Ana hotel, officials said.
Edge allegedly told police about the children after she crashed her car about 8 a.m. in an apparent suicide attempt behind a Costa Mesa supermarket, police said.
When officers arrived, she refused to come out of the car and attempted to strangle herself with an electrical cord, police said.
