The Texas mother accused of killing her two young children — whose bodies were found inside a smoldering car — sobbed uncontrollably during her first court appearance as her family revealed her deteriorating mental health over the last year. Marlene Vidal, 34, had tears streaming down her face as she appeared before a Bexar County judge Friday, hours after she allegedly murdered her children, Adrian Akeel, 5, and Aleeza Elena, 7, in San Antonio, according to video obtained by WOAI. The children were discovered inside a charred white Hyundai SUV after police and firefighters responded to a vehicle fire in a parking lot behind a San Antonio warehouse, following a call from a dog walker at around 5 a.
