they met up with the Waraneckis, not only because they looked up to them, but the Waraneckis were also selling this Greyhound bus. It was an old beat up one, but Rusty decided to buy it from them. He wanted to eventually fix it up and travel the country with his family. And the trailer they had back home just wasn't the right bus for that. So they bought this one and brought it back to Texas.

Now, the entire time they had been living in the RV park, they had been renting out their house in Friendswood. But in October of 1998, they officially sold that house and used the money to renovate this new Greyhound bus that they bought from the Waraneckis. So as you can imagine, it was a pretty chaotic time for their family. They now had three young boys living in this small trailer.

they're renovating this new bus, and Andrea found out she was pregnant with their fourth child. But throughout this time, the one person that Andrea seemed to keep in contact with was Rachel Waranecki. And in their letters to each other, Rachel talked a lot about eternal damnation. In one letter to Andrea, Rachel told her that she, quote, "'Must get right with God before it's too late.'"

She continued by saying, The window of opportunity that God has opened up for you at this time, through us, will only stay open for a certain time. All the rebuke, confrontation, and sharing that went on between us was intended to affect your souls for salvation. If you allow Satan to come in and steal the understanding, the consequences will be tragic.

Now again, I am not talking poorly of anyone's religion, but fire and brimstone teachings like this can be really scary for people, especially for people who are not mentally well. And as you'll soon learn, Andrea Yates' mental health was about to take a downward spiral.

After the birth of her fourth son, something changed in Andrea. She was no longer seen walking her children around the park. She didn't stop by the office to chat with anyone, and she grew even more withdrawn from the outside world. The weight of postpartum depression had crept in and taken its hold on her.

Every day felt like a constant cycle of cooking, cleaning, entertaining the children, and changing the reusable cloth diapers that they used. And there was nothing to help relieve any of this pressure. Andrea didn't have many friends. Her husband worked all the time and she spent all day every day alone with her boys. By June of 1999, Andrea was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
