1 Child Drowns, 2nd Hurt; Mother Held

Amother was charged in Long Prairie, Minn., with murdering one of her daughters and trying to kill the other by deliberately driving into a lake. Lisa Patchen, 28, was spotted wet and shivering on the shore of Lake Latimer in northern Minnesota on Sunday. Emergency crews found her daughters, Amber Johnson, 6, and Allysha Johnson, 7, floating unconscious about 300 yards from where the car was submerged in 5 1/2 feet of water. Amber was pronounced dead a short time later. Allysha survived but was in critical condition. The girls’ father and Patchen’s longtime boyfriend, Philip Johnson, told investigators that she had a nervous breakdown last summer and stopped taking her anti-psychotic medication about a month ago.
