Police in North Carolina are looking into a woman's online gaming habits as they investigate the death of her 11-month-old daughter.
According to WRAL-5, Johni Michelle Heuser has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of baby Harmony, who had been reported missing last Friday, leading to a statewide Amber Alert. On Saturday police found the child's body in the attic of Heuser's home. Heuser said Harmony died weeks ago from crib death and she hid the body out of fear.
From the TV news report:
"As part of their investigation, authorities seized an Xbox video-game system from Heuser's home, and they were examining her playing habits in hopes of developing leads in the case."
"It can be utilized to connect with the Internet, so you can talk with other people, play games with other people, that sort of thing," Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins said.
"In an e-mail to WRAL, a woman who claims to live near the family said she recognized Heuser's game character on her computer. She said Heuser was online as late as last Thursday to participate in a role-playing game."

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Cruel mom. I saw this on the news... I was shock to see i near where I live.
This b1tch is f-ing crazy!! I love video games as much as the next person but to neglect your baby to the point of death is RETARDED!! Throw the book at her!
Especially when you've got retarded parents.
You're a fricking mother, you should take care of your child instead of playing video games and then blaming it for the death of your own child.
THAT B!TCH DESERVES TO GET HER HEAD DECAPITATED IN THE WORST DEATH SENTENCE KNOWN TO MAN.
