This is some breaking news about the 14 year old girl, Heather D’Aoust who was accused of murdering her 56 year old mother by beating her in the head with a hammer. Heather is expected to be arraigned in San Diego Superior Court on Thursday, said Paul Levikow, spokesman for District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis.
It is not 100% clear what exact charges D’Aoust will be charged with, but prosecuters will be looking to go with the most serious possible charge. It saddens me to think how a 14 year old could do such a terrible act of hate to the person who is responsible for her living in the first place. To kill someone is the worst possible crime anyone can commit, but to kill a parent is almost inconceivable unless that parent was abusive. Neighbors and friends say that Rebecca D’Aoust, Heathers mother was a sweet woman and great parent.

I just heard on nancy grace that it was possible that heather recently discovered she was adopted,. no excuse for what she did but possible motive?
homicide detectives will not confirm or deny information.

Becky D’Aoust was the epitome of kindness. she brightened the life of every person she encountered. the obvious torment of her daughter could not have been a result of any abuse on her mother’s part-be very certain of that.

Mercy Mercy Mercy, tears and heartbreak, prayers and love and more mercy, my heart breaks for the pain of all involved in this senseless tragic sitution that has brought forth such intense loss. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy…Family, all of you, my deepest prayers as I attend daily Mass and pray the Holy Rosary for all of you. It is everything that I can give to you all, in this so sad time. Mercy and Love fall from His Heaven.

I knew Becky and James D’Aoust.. They were regular customers at the Italian restaurant they frequented. They were just in last week. Becky was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Both James & Becky were always pleasent and smiling.. I can’t believe that this happened.. She will be truly missed..

She’s known she was adopted since elementary school at least. She was friends with my sister and told my sister she was adopted so I doubt that bothered her.

I can’t believe some people,it’s not bad enough heathers in juvi hall but her mother is gone an dall people can do is talk about things that are disrepcetful to anyone including me since i am adopted.

Mental illness comes in many shapes and forms. Heather came from a good home, but unfortunately was a very ill young lady. Mental illness can be very unpredictable especially as a child navigates through the teenage years. This family deserves our utmost respect and compassion including Heather, the child who has committed this terrible act. Do not ask why and how this happened because oftentimes, there is no why and how with mental illness. Despite the treatments we now have, there really is no magical panacea or cure for many types of mental illness. Conditions can improve therapy and meds, but certain illnesses don’t go away.

I am best friends with one of the sisters and some of the comments really bother me on here. Heather knew she was adopted from day one and that was never a problem or an issue. The night before this happened her and her parents went to a movie and came home. When one of the sisters came home Heather and her parents were sitting by the fire playing a board game. She knew what she was doing, mental illness aside. She admitted to it and a friend admitted it. Becky was one of the most amazing people I know, a second mom to me. I spent so much time there and it is so strange going there without her home. Please say your prayers for Jim and the other two daughters.
