## Resource

On June 23, 2026, six members of a family were found dead inside a Mechanicville, New York apartment during a welfare check. Grandmother Amy Steadman, her daughter Sarah Myers, and Myers' four children, were found poisoned, and a handwritten note and medications strongly suggest Steadman was involved in the deaths, with investigators exploring a possible link to a recent custody decision involving the children's father.
