In a tragic incident in Masonville, New York, Drew Garnier fatally stabbed his five-months-pregnant wife, Samantha, and harmed their two daughters. His motive stemmed from anger about having another girl instead of the desired son. Following his guilty plea to manslaughter and assault, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison with strict no-contact order with his daughters. This agreement aimed to avoid further trauma for the surviving children, who have since been adopted by their maternal grandfather. Samantha was due to have a child in February, but both she and the unborn child perished in the attack.
