Immediately after each child's birth, Huntsman choked or smothered the infant sometimes by wrapping a ligature around the infant's neck but most often by pressing on their throats with her thumbs until they stopped breathing.

Megan Huntsman claimed that she killed the children because she was "too messed up on meth" to properly care for them.
