The grandmother and mom who murdered four children in an upstate New York apartment before taking their own lives carefully planned for and communicated about the killings, cops revealed Tuesday. A handwritten confession letter left inside the Mechanicville home where Amy Steadman, 64, was found dead alongside her 44-year-old daughter, Sarah Myers, and Myers’ four children – Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11, and 10-year-old twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon – was signed with the grandmother’s name, Mechanicville Police Chief Bill Rabbitt said during a press conference. “In that letter, the author accepts responsibility for what occurred and states that they believed killing the children was the only way to keep them safe from alleged abuse in Utah,” Rabbitt told reporters, adding that police could not independently verify any allegations of abuse against Myers or the children.
