COLORADO SPRINGS — When police spotted a bloody butcher knife on the kitchen counter of a southeastern Colorado Springs apartment, Ellyzabeth Joy Rainey held up her 2-month-old baby.
“Take my baby,” court papers say she told police. “Because I am going to run.”
Police say Rainey threw her baby and ran.
An officer caught the child.
Police caught Rainey in the courtyard outside the apartment building and asked why she ran.
“Because I just murdered someone,” she said, officers wrote in an arrest affidavit. Rainey, 19, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of killing her mother-in-law, 59-year-old Deborah Rainey.
