LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A
woman charged with killing
three of her children and her
boyfriend’s daughter during an
eight-year period liked chil
dren, the boyfriend said
Wednesday.
Police said the woman, Debra
Sue Tuggle, had a history of
mental illness. However, her
boyfriend, George Paxton, said
Tuggle’s doctor assured him
the woman was well before he
let her move in with him to help
care for his three children.
“I have. to live with the fact
for the rest of my life that I
brought a woman in my house
that killed my child,” Paxton
said. “My daughter was the clos
est thing to me this side of life. I
would have died for her.”
Tuggle, 26, was held without
bond Wednesday for the 1982
death of Paxton’s daughter, To-
mekia Shenee Paxton, 2, and
the deaths of three of her own
children, 2-month-old Thomas
Lee Bates and 1-year-old Wil
liam Earl Henry, both of whom
died in 1974, and 9-month-old
Ronald Earl Johnson, who died
in 1976.
Police in Malvern, Ark.,
where Tuggle once lived, were
investigating the death of her
fourth child, Terran/ Andre
Tuggle, who died in 1979 at the
age of 2 V'i. months.
The deaths were first attrib
uted to Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome and pneumonia. Dr.
Ben Saltzman, director of the
Arkansas Health Department,
said death by suffocation easily
could be mistaken for SIDS or
pneumonia in an autopsy.
Police began their investiga
tion in November after Pulaski
County Coroner Steve Nawojc-
zyk became suspicious about so
many SIDS deaths in one fam
ily. Police Capt. James Vandiver
said State Medical Examiner
Dr. Fahmy Malak re-examined
the Paxton case and found evi
dence the child had suffocated.
“She was quiet and real likea
ble — a real gentle sort,” Paxton
said. “She seemed to love them
(the children).”
Paxton said he knew of the
deaths of Tuggle’s four chil
dren, and was worried about
her mental state.
“She had a mental break
down after she lost the kids,” he
said. “She tried to commit sui
cide. I went over to the state
mental hospital, and talked to
the doctor who treated her. She
was in-house for a long time,
(but) they had even released her
from consultation.”
Paxton and Tuggle later had
a child, who lives with Paxton
and his two children.
“I don’t hate her,” Paxton
said. “I feel sorry for her.”
