Michelle Kehoe is charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and child endangerment. She's accused of killing her 2-year-old son, Seth, and attempting to kill her 7-year-old son, Sean, in October 2008. Michelle Kehoe was an educated woman living in an affluent suburb in an Iowa college town. She loved her husband, enjoyed her work, and adored her sons. She was known as the “perfect mother.” So why did she drive her boys into the Iowa River one freezing December day? Four brave rescuers dived in and brought the family to safety, and, at the time, officials ruled it an accident.
