After 53 years, a mother confesses: 'I killed that baby'

Her daughter wonders if that was the only killing.

A mother's confession about a child's death a half-century ago is finally giving a Battle Creek woman and her brothers some peace.

But Janice Summerfield's acknowledgement that she was responsible for the death of her infant son in 1961 leaves his surviving siblings wondering if she also killed their twin sisters years later.



"I killed that baby," Janice Summerfield told the Enquirer. "My mind wasn't right. I killed that baby. I didn't know what I was doing."

Janice Summerfield, 77, is in a nursing home in Kalamazoo but lived with her family in Tekonsha at the time of the boy's death.
