Octavia Rogers's brother came home late at night on Wednesday June 1, 2016 and talked to Octavia in the garage where she brought up religion and that she had found the answer. Before the murders she had also made a post on Facebook about how America was losing its way since children were lacking discipline and god.
Octavia then locked her brother out of the house, and after he forced his way back in he found her in the bathroom with multiple stab wounds.
When he went to go get towels, Octavia tried to drown herself.
He called 911 to come to the home at 2 a.m on Thursday, June 2, 2016. Octavia claimed her children were with family but after searching the house police found their bodies.
Police found all the children's bodies were dismembered and that the older boys were found in a bedroom closet, and the infant was found in a suitcase in the same closet.
The house where the murders occurred was owned by Octavia's mother Tanella McCoy.
The house was located in the 16000 block of North 25th Drive, in the Canyon Crest neighborhood of North Phoenix near Greenway Road east of Interstate 17.
