Mom Kills Ex-Boyfriend, His Parents in Rage
1 Apr
Summary
- Woman accused of murdering ex-boyfriend and his parents.
- Motive potentially linked to custody and co-parenting disputes.
- Suspect confessed to police after the killings.
Jenna Strouble, a 30-year-old Indiana woman, is accused of a brutal triple homicide in an Illinois suburb on March 22. She faces nine counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Lambert, and his parents, Patrick and Stacy Forde. Court documents reveal Strouble admitted to investigators that she went to meet Lambert with the intent to harm him.
Prosecutors suggest the motive for the slayings was linked to Strouble's complaints about Lambert's parenting, family tensions, and custody concerns. Strouble allegedly shot Lambert, then proceeded to his parents' home, where she fatally shot Patrick Forde multiple times and then Stacy Forde.
Following the alleged murders, Strouble returned to her Indiana home and confessed to her sister, who then contacted the police. Authorities apprehended Strouble, who reportedly surrendered a loaded Glock 19 handgun. She is scheduled for a court appearance to determine her custody status pending trial, facing a potential life sentence if convicted.
