In another terrible case of child killing by mothers in Texas, bodies of children ages 5, 3 and 2, their 25 year-old mother Gilberta Estrada and an 8 month-old infant was found in a trailer house 25 miles west of Fort Worth, Texas. The tragedy which is suspected to be murder-suicide, is still under investigation.

The 8 month-old infant was the lone survivor of the terrible tragedy, unfortunately her sisters were found hanging from strips of clothing and sashes. The woman's sister apparently dropped by their home when the children's mother failed to show up for work. She then went inside the house, and found the bodies hanging in the closet. She then rescued the infant when she noticed that it was still alive.

The mother who is believed to be separated from her husband and her children were last seen alive Monday evening.

The infant who is in good condition was taken to Cook Children's Medical Center.
