Rachel Henry: Phoenix woman sentenced for killing her 3 kids

PHOENIX – A woman who admitted to killing her three children five years ago received three consecutive life sentences on Feb. 14.

Rachel Henry pleaded guilty to premeditated first-degree murder in the January 2020 deaths of her children.

The backstory:

The Phoenix Police said officers were sent to Henry’s home near 24th Street and Southern Avenue after a woman called 911 saying three kids were dead.

The children were later identified as 3-year-old Zane Henry, 23-month-old Miraya Henry and 7-month-old Catalaya Rios.

Police said Henry admitted during an interview to smothering each of the victims, and placing them in a position on the living room couch as if they were taking a nap.
