Friday Crime Stories: Mom confesses to killing girl, coldly says she was too busy to handle young daughter

PLUS: Dogs left to freeze in arctic blast

An Ohio mother tells cops she killed her 5-year-old daughter because the child had become too much to handle after a visit with her grandparents. The confession video shows Mingming Chen complaining that she did not have the “four hands” necessary to discipline little Ashley Zhao, so she killed her and told her husband to “deal with it.”

The father stuffed the child behind a freezer in their restaurant before calling police to report her missing. Nancy Grace digs into this case with journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell, creator of JaneUnchained.com, New York psychologist Dr. Pat Saunders, private investigator Vincent Hill, lawyer and child advocate Ashley Willcott, and Crime Stories co-host, Alan Duke.
