Jillian McCabe, age 34, of Seal Rock, Oregon, made her first court appearance by video yesterday afternoon, wearing a suicide vest. McCabe is being charged with aggravated murder in the death of her six year old son London. His body was found early Tuesday morning in Yaquina Bay. The details are both chilling and sickening, as McCabe called 911 to report herself to authorities.

When asked the nature of her emergency, she told the 911 dispatcher, “I just threw my son over the Yaquina Bay Bridge,” according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by KGW Tuesday morning.

She told the dispatcher her son London was gone in the water, and described him and his clothing in detail, then described herself as an officer approached her. She told several officers on the scene that she had thrown the boy into the water.

For those who are wondering, Oregon news outlet KGW says that the drop from the bridge deck to the water is 133 feet.

And as soon as the news broke that this woman had thrown her own child off a bridge to his death, her family immediately came rushing to her defense to blame… mental illness.
