Murder In America
EP. 184: TEXAS - Andrea Yates: The Mother Who Drowned Her 5 Children In A Bathtub (PT. 1)

In early January 1997, Andrea filmed a video of Rusty and little Noah cramped inside the trailer's bathroom and Noah is pretending to shave his face just like his dad. Andrea can be heard in the background laughing at the special moment. In May of that year, she filmed another video of Noah riding his bicycle through the RV park. Andrea can be heard saying, quote, "'There's our boys.'"

On September 13th, 1997, Andrea and Rusty welcomed their third son, Paul Abraham. Paul was a wonderful addition to the Yates family, and Andrea couldn't wait to show him off to Belinda.

After all, she saw them every day. And something she noticed was that their family wasn't very affectionate. There were never any hugs or kisses, no positive affirmations, words of encouragement, or even I love you's from what she saw. And that's not to say it didn't happen. Belinda just never saw it. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. every family is different.

However, Andrea was described as calm, but almost robotic. She didn't show a lot of emotion. And at times, Belinda said she looked detached. Andrea's older brother, Andrew, noticed this too. But she wasn't always that way, he said. In fact, he noticed this shift in his sister after she started having children. He would see this blank look come across her face.

But when Andrew would ask if she was all right, Andrea was always quick to say that she was fine. However, Andrew knew better. He would later say that he had seen that same blank robotic stare on their father's face after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Like her father, Andrew said that Andrea was physically present, but her expressions were vacant and not wanting to burden anyone.
