She pleaded guilty and got TWO LIFE SENTENCES — but the question lingers: Was it a desperate excuse, mental breakdown, or something darker? 😤

This case has everyone talking.

Full story:

A Bullitt County woman has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison after pleading guilty to the November 2023 murders of her two young sons, whom she initially claimed were killed due to manipulation by social media, the internet, and Wi-Fi signals.

Tiffanie Ann Katherine Lucas, 33, entered guilty pleas to two counts of first-degree murder on Oct. 23, 2024, in Bullitt Circuit Court, avoiding a scheduled December trial where she had planned an insanity defense. On Nov. 22, 2024, Judge Rodney Burress imposed the maximum sentence available under Kentucky law for the killings of 6-year-old Maurice “Peanut” Baker Jr. and 9-year-old Jayden Howard. Lucas will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years, though prosecutors described the likelihood of early release as “slim to none.”

The case began on Nov. 8, 2023, when deputies from the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting at a home on Bentwood Drive in Shepherdsville, about 20 miles south of Louisville. A neighbor discovered Lucas collapsed in his driveway, telling him her “kids were dying.” Inside the residence, another neighbor found the boys in a bedroom, covered in blood, with a gun on the bed nearby. Both children had been shot in the head and were rushed to Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville, where they were pronounced dead.

An arrest citation indicated that a witness identified Lucas as the shooter. Investigation revealed that four shots were fired within a 30-second window, according to testimony from Bullitt County Detective Richard Beahl. Ring camera footage from a nearby home captured the sounds of gunfire before Lucas exited the house seeking help.

In the hours following the incident, Lucas made several statements to investigators that drew widespread attention. Beahl testified during an early court hearing that Lucas described the shooting as an “accident” and claimed she “would never do anything like this unless someone manipulated” her. Specifically, she alleged being “manipulated through Facebook, through the internet or through Wi-Fi” into committing the act. Additional body camera and interrogation footage, later obtained by media outlets including Law&Crime, showed Lucas insisting she loved her children “so much” and would never hurt them intentionally. She rambled about video games, YouTube, and technology “messing up” minds and allowing manipulation of parents.

Lucas also referenced a “sugar daddy” who had allegedly been “manipulating my mind for like three years” and placed “evil, dark, weird stuff” in her home. She maintained she was “not in my mind” and “right with God,” while describing herself as a “really good mom.”

The defense initially filed a motion in September 2024 to assert an insanity defense, citing Lucas’s mental state at the time of the offense. Attorneys later described her as experiencing “powerful delusions,” believing she and her children were being stalked by a powerful group intent on abduction and torture. They attributed the episode in part to opioid withdrawal. Lucas was not deemed incompetent to stand trial.

Family members of the victims expressed deep skepticism about claims of mental illness or external manipulation. Maurice Baker Sr., father of Maurice Jr., told the court during sentencing that Lucas had repeatedly blocked his access to his son despite his efforts. Relatives described the boys as loving and full of life — Maurice Jr. enjoyed animals, soccer, and kindergarten, while Jayden was remembered fondly by extended family. Victim impact statements were emotional, with one relative calling Lucas “selfish,” “evil,” and a “monster” for taking the children from those who loved them.

Prosecutors and law enforcement emphasized the premeditated nature of the act and the horror of children being shot by their mother in their own home. Bullitt County Commonwealth’s Attorney Bailey Taylor stated that Lucas “not only murdered Jayden and Maurice but she forever scarred the lives of their family and friends, both adults and children.”

Lucas had a prior criminal history, including drug-related convictions, with the most recent in 2018. Family members reported previous concerns, including calls to child protective services over the years, though specifics were not detailed publicly.

The sentencing hearing included applause in the courtroom after the judge handed down the life sentences. Lucas showed little emotion during proceedings, according to reports. Her attorneys argued for leniency based on her mental health struggles but did not call witnesses from her family.

The case has sparked debate about the intersection of mental health, personal responsibility, and technology in criminal defenses. Lucas’s claims of algorithmic or Wi-Fi manipulation were widely reported as unusual and drew criticism from the community and victims’ relatives, who viewed them as attempts to evade accountability.

As of January 2026, Lucas remains incarcerated, with no appeals or further updates reported in the public record. The tragedy continues to resonate in Shepherdsville, a small community where residents expressed shock at the violence in what was considered a family-oriented area.
