On March 8, 1954, while battling post partum depression, a 24
year old Maine housewife drowned her three children in a bathtub
before attempting suicide.
After spending only 5 years at the Augusta State Hospital,
Constance Fisher was released from the institution. Her release
marked the beginnings of a new era in the treatment of the mentally
ill in America, as the nation moved to phase out the large state
run mental hospitals.
On June 30, 1966, Constance Fisher again drowned her three
children in a bathtub in what has been called the most bizarre
murder story in the history of New England.
The incident was foretelling of another American tragedy; the
plight of the acutely mentally ill with no facility left to
properly care for them.
