Cliff Harshman said he is struggling to comprehend the actions of his wife, Tranyelle Harshman, who he said was battling mental illness.
“She told the dispatcher two children would be located upstairs in their cribs and two children would be downstairs in their shared bedroom,” Big Horn County Sheriff Ken Blackburn said in the media release.
Police said that Tranyelle told the call dispatcher where they could locate the bodies of the children.
Harshman told the State Daily that his wife was undergoing treatment for her mental health issues, and explained that she was dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and post-partum depression.
The dispatcher pleaded with Tranyelle to remain on the line until emergency services arrived at the scene, but the mom said it was “too late.”.
