What it clearly looks like to me is a case of a loving mother who just snapped under the pressure. She was over her head. She was up against lawyers who were out to destroy her. They succeeded, unfortunately she did herself in.

perhaps people should take a deep breath before they pass judgement on Christa. i knew Christa very well, in fact we were engaged and lived together in florida. i know how troubled she was by her mothers slow painful death and the eventual disintegration of her family. i knew her to be the sweetest person i ever met, and she truly loved children. for her to have done this (if she really did, be sure to check the husband) is just a reminder how much pain people carry around with them every day. if she did do this, i am just sad for her and her daughter and the families that she could not reach out to someone in her time of need. she was a very strong willed person and taught me much in life even though i was older than her. i cant even start to feel the pain the loveland and higgins families are feeling, but know that my prayers are with you, and i will pray for Christa’s soul.

I KNEW MARK that gives me the creeps my ex is a snake. been divorced near 15 years I am surprized that he hadn’t committed some type of foul play. I was always looking over my shoulder he is a revengful person and it usually waits long enough that he isn’t the suspect. I hope that if mark had something to do with this he won’t get away with it like Drew Peterson has.

I think I can see what this mother was thinking in the midst of her understandable depression. She saw her daughter, small and vulnerable, and was afraid to leave the child on her own without a motherâ€™s protection. She probably romanticized that death would be a brief passage and then she and her daughter would be safe together forever. Of course, I think what the mother did was murder. But as I have read these posts, itâ€™s slowly grown in my mind how a very depressed and physically ill parent could be deluded into thinking that death is a justifiable option for their beloved child as for her/himself. But again, it was murder. And I grieve for the familyâ€™s pain and the life that the little girl was never given a chance to live.

Well said, Wry.

Mark Chidester is a snake, maybe some one should check out his first ex-wife and the HELL that he put her through. He thinks that he is this wonderful “family” guy and tries to get everyone else to think that but the truth is he is a SNAKE! All of us who knew him at Eckerd know what a lying piece of dog crap he is. I can’t beleive that he has been able to hold a job in HR for as long as he has. Watch out women…don’t be tricked by his smooth ways, he has a list of victims a mile long and they know the truth about him. I pray that Christa and Sarah will be blessed in heaven and I can not wait until Mark has to answer to our Heavenly Father for his actions.

I know that sarah is with Jesus now.

Kind of a shitty way to get her into his loving, compassionate arms. Too bad Jesus couldn’t have just thrown them a bone and gotten Christa a good set of attorney’s for her divorce.

For Everyones info, not that you need to know. Christa did love her daughter and she was feeling like she had no way out . Knowing Christa when she was young her daughter is like a exact copy of her she looked just like her mom. She was not without family though. She did in the past cut off a relationship with her family and sisters but had been spending time with her sisters and father. Her father will be making a statement after his grandaughter has been buried. I wish people would give christas and sarahs family time to grieve without making assumptions. Christas mother died of a disease she needed a kidney and there was no doners and the girls watch there mother die everyday. Taking care of her and themselves knowing there was no help for her. They were just kids themselves. Yes mark was a jerk as he could have done something to make it easier for christa and sarah. Yes no one in the family had no idea christa would ever do what she did. They knew she was packing and supposed to be moving back to florida with family. As family members spoke with her often during this week and had no clue. I dont know where christa is now but I hope that she will be forgiven of what she has done. But I do know that the familes are still here and are dealing with the loss of both sarah and christa. This was a very selfish thing that christa did and I pray that everyone involved can forgive her. I pray that sarahs family can move on and remember sarah for the time they had with her. I know that sarah is with Jesus now.

Thanks for that insight Mrae. I hope that all of us reading this post can take a moment and look around us, and ask “is there anyone who is suffering that needs my help?” Maybe it wouldn’t have stopped Christa from doing what she did, but it makes you wonder, did anyone even try? Did her soon to be ex-husband? Did her estranged father? Her estranged sisters? Her daughter’s father? Was there anyone there who might have gotten this woman the help she needed?

Let us not make it worse for the families involved or to the memories of them and “Amen” to MRAE’s comment. Enough “bad” has happened and been said about this tragedy.

I know what happend is wrong, but I would like to take a moment to reflect on the great Christa and Sarah. I knew Christa and Sarah a while back. I became close to them but didnâ€™t talk asmuch after they moved from Fl. I just canâ€™t beleive this has happened!! One would never have thought after meeting Christa and Sarah that Christa would have done this. She was one of those special moms, who had a great relationship with her daughter. Sarah was her world. Christa was a great friend, person and most of all mom. She had a smile that would light up a room and was always very appreciative. She had a great quality of giving notice to those that did something good. I admired her for that. She would always go places and spend quality time with Sarah. I remeber their favorite Tai resteraunt Sarah used to love the flowers that would come with the food. Sarah was an awesome child!! She was always happy and loved life. I remeber always thinking about how smart she was. All this is very sad, and at this time I please ask for everyone to stop judging for a moment and pray. Pray for their eternal life and for their close friends strength. Pray for Sarahâ€™s dad and forgiveness. To all who else knew them, I am sorry for their loss and your confussion, disbelief and sorrow are shared. To Christa and Sarah I pray God carries you.

I am sickened. Sounds like she did love her, not just more than herself.
Peace Baby!

Sorry, it was I who misinterpreted the end of this article: http://www.wcnc.com/news/topstories/stories/wcnc-010908-krg-bodiesfound.76dca99.html. Another article did say that the property was to be split.

Christa was a strong and determined person who loved her daughter immensely. What happened to her daughter and to her is beyond tragic. One can be suspicious of the facts or narrow-minded in their assumptions, but the bottom line is that none of us (no matter what any of us have personally been through) can and should judge the incident or the persons involved. For those of us who believe in God, let us leave that to him; and for those of us that do not believe in God, let us leave it to the proper authorities to handle the investigation. Just remember that the Medical Examiner can only determine the cause of death, the investigators we have authorized will determine what probably happened. In the time that I knew Christa, I have only good things to say and if all the speculation is found true, then I pray to God to forgive her and take them both into Heaven where there is no more pain.

My sympathies to all involved.
However, SHE MURDERED her daughter, explain that at the pearly gates.
