[release] BOSTON -- A Texas mother charged with murdering her young son and dumping his body in the Maine woods last weekend was in Massachusetts Thursday morning saying she just wants to die. During a 10-minute court hearing, Julianne McCrery waived rendition on a fugitive from justice charge and agreed to be sent to New Hampshire where she is facing murder charges. McCrery seemed dejected but lucid as she answered Concord District Court Judge Peter Kilmartin's questions with simple answers, indicating she understood the charge against her. She was expected to make her first court appearance later Thursday in New Hampshire in Portsmouth District Court. Her court-appointed attorney, George Murphy, said before court McCrery was distraught, crying and suicidal and told him she had tried twice before to take her own life, in 2004. "I want to be in heaven with my son," Murphy said McCrery told him. "I'm pretty much concerned with her taking her life," he said. McCrery, 42, a single mom who sold auto parts until recently and who was also a published author with a criminal record that included drug and prostitution charges, is accused of killing her 6-year-old son, Camden Price Hughes, then abandoning his body in South Berwick, Maine, wrapped in a blanket. McCrery was arrested at a Massachusetts rest stop Wednesday morning after a passerby spotted her blue pickup truck there. Police had been searching for the vehicle since the child's body was discovered on May 14 and a Maine witness said he thought he'd seen a blue truck near the scene. Officers took McCrery to a nearby hospital for a medical evaluation, and New Hampshire authorities later charged her with murder in the case. Murphy said McCrery asked him if New Hampshire has the death penalty and when he said it did she told him, "I want to go there." He said when he advised her of the charges against her she said, "I wish it was first-degree murder charge with death penalty, so I could go to heaven." Law enforcement sources said McCrery confessed to killing her son and ABC News reported that she told officials she had given the boy too much cough syrup. Police have focused their investigation on the $175-a-week Stone Gable Motel in Hampton, N.H., about a half-hour from where the boy's body was found. Witnesses there said they saw McCrery there and heard plenty. "She looked like she was irate. She was angry and very disheveled. Her hair was all messed up," said Larry Regan, who recalled McCrery being their with her son. "Just, yelling, just you know, typical screaming of a parent that was irate," he said. Early autopsy findings showed that Camden died of asphyxiation and the manner of death was homicide, according to Maine's chief medical examiner. McCrery's ex-boyfriend in Texas, however, said she was a loving mother who would never have harmed her son. "I know she would never have done anything to him," Robert Miller told NewsCenter 5 by phone from Irving, Texas. "She loved him dearly," Miller said. Miller said he spoke to the boy's mother on Tuesday and thought she was at work in Texas. He said the boy and his mother had both been sick with a cough they couldn't shake. He said he had no idea why either of them would be in New England and he questioned her stability. "She does not think things well. She's got some mental illness. She don't think things through. She don't ever do that," Miller said. Miller said McCrery also has a 23-year-old son who is serving in the Navy and who is stationed in Norfolk, Va. Lurae McCrery, Julianne's mother in Nebraska, said she last saw Camden in early May. She said she also thought he was still in the Texas mobile home park with his mother, with whom he had a good relationship. "It's just horrible. I just can't begin to tell you how I feel. It's so unreal," she said. Officials at the Irving school district where Hughes was a student told WFAA-TV in Dallas that McCrery had called Hughes in sick as recently as Monday and Tuesday. The Mainers who found Hughes body wrapped in a blanket and dumped in the woods shared their story with hundreds of grieving residents at a candlelight vigil for the boy Wednesday night. Manley and Linda Goves, who have children of their own, talked about the horror of discovering the child. They wished they could have done something to help the child before it was too late. "Had we only known, we would have taken him," Manley Goves said. "Camden deserved the right to be loved. And maybe his life ended in such a tragic way, but you can see that he is very loved," Linda Goves said. "Even though he's not bone of my bone, or flesh of my flesh, I feel like he is," said Manley Goves. Several residents of South Berwick, Maine, have even offered to pay for funeral expenses and his burial there if the child's Texas family does not claim him.

The boy's body was found in the woods over a week ago, and no one knew he was murdered until yesterday.
What is truly fucked up about this is the fact that the mother thinks she's religious, which is obviously not the case.
Insane bitches + religion = ???
This is such a sad case. It was very fortunate the Police in Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire were so diligent to find the woman who committed this unjust crime.
Now she needs love all the more, otherwise she's just gonna off herself. [b]edit[/b] funny how things work.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29929985]She should off herself. Stupid bitch.[/QUOTE] Yeah.. back to square one
[QUOTE=calle7112;29929683]What the fuck is wrong with [b]TEXAS[/b][/QUOTE] Fixed.
This is just as bad as that Julie Schenecker story
the farce known as religion claims another person...this kid would still be alive if religion wasn't such a brain washing piece of a bullshit...crazy people become even more crazy when religion gets involved
[QUOTE=geoface;29930196]the farce known as religion claims another person...this kid would still be alive if religion wasn't such a brain washing piece of a bullshit...crazy people become even more crazy when religion gets involved[/QUOTE] shut the FUCK up
Sometimes Maine is just so fucked up...I know because I've lived up here all of my life.
[QUOTE=ColdWave;29930240]Sometimes Maine is just so fucked up...I know because I've lived up here all of my life.[/QUOTE] Yeah guess you are lucky your mother didn't kill you when you were just a defenseless human child.
Gekko, you confuse me. Half the shit you post you don't even seem to understand the subject of. The other half is just flaming. I can't tell if you're serious or a troll. If you're serious, then that worries me. If you're a troll, get banned.
This woman quite clearly wants to be dead. Get at it boys.
it's funny because in the eyes of christianity, that woman would probably be sent to hell

[quote]Texas[/quote] OH... Nothing new then.
[QUOTE=geoface;29930196]the farce known as religion claims another person...this kid would still be alive if religion wasn't such a brain washing piece of a bullshit...crazy people become even more crazy when religion gets involved[/QUOTE] this has nothing to do with religion and more so to do with mental illness why don't you actually learn what drove this mother to commit such a disturbing act instead of just scapegoating religion because you think it's the cool thing to do

It was environmental factors (like religion and a few other things) and mental illness if she had it.
Oh yeah, I was hearing about that. There was candlelight vigil for the kid yesterday and my girlfriend went to it. Didn't expect to see this story on facepunch.
[QUOTE=JDK721;29934088]this has nothing to do with religion and more so to do with mental illness why don't you actually learn what drove this mother to commit such a disturbing act instead of just scapegoating religion because you think it's the cool thing to do[/QUOTE] Religion and insanity drove her to this. Religion has a large effect on peoples lives. It isn't merely a personality cosmetic.
Without religion this woman would have committed the crime with another excuse.
[QUOTE=Rubs10;29935777]Religion drove her to this.[/QUOTE] uhh, how so?
[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;29936040]Without religion this woman would have committed the crime with another excuse.[/QUOTE] Im not going to say all religious people are nuts or that we should blame religion but it definitly was the cause. She didn't think of an "excuse" to kill her children she was nuts for whatever reason and this was something that had the ability to direct her crazy to murder.
it begins
[QUOTE=JDK721;29936054]uhh, how so?[/QUOTE] "I killed my son so I can be with him in heaven"
[QUOTE=Diealready;29936168]"I killed my son so I can be with him in heaven"[/QUOTE] this just in: murderers who are mentally ill attempt to justify their actions with irrational statements saying that doesn't mean religion drove her to do it
[QUOTE=JDK721;29936292]this just in: murderers who are mentally ill attempt to justify their actions with irrational statements saying that doesn't mean religion drove her to do it[/QUOTE] No she didn't decide to kill her son and later justify it with religion she did it because it made sense with her religious belief. Just admit that its one of the causes it doesnt mean the religion is bad it just means that with the help of mental illness and religion a women killed her son.
