Chapter 1: The Stabbing Incident

On January 5, 2023, emergency services were called to the residence of April Lyda in Tulsa, Oklahoma, due to a stabbing incident. However, the shocking revelation was that the perpetrator was none other than April's 12-year-old daughter.

The young girl had attacked her 9-year-old brother, Zander, while he was asleep in the living room, just before midnight, as their mother rested upstairs. April recounted the harrowing moment when she discovered Zander in a pool of blood and saw her daughter fleeing the scene.

The girl confessed her actions to the authorities without hesitation, prompting April to call for help and attempt to perform CPR on her son. When law enforcement arrived, they found the distraught child crying and expressing regret over what had transpired. To onlookers, she seemed like a remorseful young girl coming to grips with the enormity of her actions. As she was taken from the house, her mother’s cries of anguish echoed behind her, followed by shouts of frustration directed at her daughter.
