Mother shot dead holding infant daughter at Idaho pit-bull breeding pot farm [View all]

Last edited Mon Apr 8, 2013, 03:26 PM - Edit history (1)

The two-month-old girl was discovered unharmed along with the bodies of her mother and two other men. Marijuana worth approximately $95K was also discovered at the crime scene.

Two men and a mother with her baby daughter still in her arms were found shot dead at an alleged pot and pit bull breeding farm in rural Idaho, police say.

The bodies of Yavette Chivon Carter, 27, her boyfriend Trent Jon Christensen, 32, and his dad Brent Christensen, 61, were all discovered at the Holbrook property on Friday.

Cops say a man coming to pick up a dog at around 1 p.m. saw a two-year-old girl sitting on the front steps.
Walking inside, he found the trio of corpses - and the two-month-old baby still being cradled by her mom.

Cops say 70 pit bulls, believed to be involved in a dog fighting ring, were chained up in the back yard. Marijuana worth around $95,000 was also discovered.
