A Missouri woman who walked into a police station last week to admit killing both of her kids reportedly told officers that she tried to ‘sacrifice’ her two-year-old son Isaac before the murders.

In her horrific retelling to the Festus Police Department, Ashley Parmeley, 36, said she shot her nine-year-old daughter Scarlet.

But new court documents reveal that the wicked mother first tried to ‘sacrifice’ her son in St. Francois County before shooting her daughter.

After she fatally shot Scarlet, Parmeley was driving north with both kids in the car, only to realize that her prior attempt to end Isaac’s life was unsuccessful, according to court records obtained by Fox 8 New Orleans.

That’s when investigators say that she drowned her son at the Timber Creek Resort, which is on the outskirts of St. Louis, 13 miles from the police station she ultimately drove to.

When she arrived at the Festus police station, Ashley Parmeley’s clothes were described as ‘wet’ and ‘disheveled.’ She told police she tried to ‘sacrifice’ her son before killing her daughter, court documents reveal

The young boy was found in the pool of a water fountain and was pronounced dead by emergency personnel, according the documents.

Given these new aggravating factors, the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday that the murder charge for her son – initially in the second-degree – has been upgraded to murder in the first degree.

Earlier on Wednesday, the prosecutor in St. Francois County also charged Parmeley with first degree murder for the death of her daughter.

New concerns about Parmeley’s mental health also surfaced this past week, since it was revealed that in the hours leading up to her double murder of her own children, she changed her Facebook profile picture to a black screen.

The St. Louis outlet also reported that four years ago, before her son was born, Parmeley posted about ‘struggling with depression.’

‘I isolated myself. I came off as very timid and unfriendly and in all reality, I needed a friend more than anything,’ Parmeley wrote on Facebook. ‘Always questioning if the kids would be happier or better off without me being their primary caregiver because I knew that they deserved a much better role model.’

Additionally, family court records showed that Parmeley was in a custody battle with Scarlet’s father. The case kicked off when her daughter was born in 2015 and resolved in 2021.
