Sylvia Sieferman was charged with stabbing her two daughters, one of whom remains critical
Four years ago she seemed to have it all. A good job. Two little girls she loved. And a newly renovated home in Roseville for the three of them to enjoy.
On Thursday, however, Sylvia Sieferman, 60, sat alone, a knife in front of her, bleeding heavily from her neck. Police said she was near the front steps of the family's new home in Roseville, about a half-mile from the one they apparently could no longer afford, yelling to police officers: "Kill me! Kill me!"
Sieferman had savagely attacked her two daughters and then stabbed herself, authorities say, two months after she was hospitalized because of her own fears that she might harm them.
Until Thursday, police said, that was something they didn't know.
Inside the townhouse in the 400 block of County Road C, police found Linnea Sieferman, 11, upstairs in a pool of blood, her throat slashed, according to a criminal complaint filed against Sylvia Sieferman on Friday in Ramsey County District Court.
Her other daughter, Hannah Sieferman, almost 12 and also adopted from China, escaped to a nearby home, but not before the single mom allegedly attacked her with an ax.
She told her daughter during that assault: "I'm a bad mom ... I had to do this."
In Sieferman's bedroom, the complaint said, officers found a handwritten note that read, in part, "sorry, I can't deal with them anymore."
On Friday, Sylvia Sieferman, described by a friend as overwhelmed by stress and financial pressures, was hospitalized in stable condition at Regions Hospital, charged with second-degree attempted murder in the ax attack on Hannah.
Authorities had yet to charge her with the alleged stabbing of Linnea, saying that a decision will be made later "based on her critical medical condition," police said. Late Friday afternoon, Linnea was at Gillette Children's Hospital, still in critical condition. Hannah, also hospitalized there, was listed in good condition.
