When you hear the names Mary, John, Luke, Paul, and Noah, what comes to mind? For most people, they will recognize that they are biblical names. But if you were to ask that during the summer of 2001, you might get a different answer. For many people who followed true crime back then, those names would have been very familiar as they were plastered across TVs and newspapers all over the country.
But an even more recognizable name that will still turn heads today, over two decades later, is the name Andrea Yates. In June of 2001, the Yates family was living in a quiet residential neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
However, their home, located at 942 Beachcomber Lane, would soon be the site of a media frenzy after the world learned that five young children had lost their lives inside the home's primary bathroom. On the day in question, Andrea Yates filled up the bathtub, and one by one, she held each of her children's heads underwater until they stopped breathing.
And from that point on, nearly every household in America knew the names of Mary, John, Luke, Paul, and Noah. The five young children murdered at the hands of their own mother. So this is the story of Andrea Yates. I'm Courtney Browen.
And I'm Colin Brown.
