The mourning mom said her little girl never had behavioral issues before she began taking some medication she was off for over a year. But April had no reason to suspect any danger from her daughter.
She didn’t say what medication the girl was taking, only that it wasn’t psychiatric medication.
Shortly after the tragic incident, police interviewed April Lyda. At the time, the mom of two said she didn’t know why her daughter would have so much anger toward Zander, especially at bedtime.
In a heartbreaking part of the interview, April said that her late son would never forgive his sister. “There will always be issues between them,” added the devastated mother.
April further disclosed that her daughter began to cut herself. Furthermore, April’s friends have launched a GoFundMe page to help her move with the loss of her son.
