According to an affidavit, deputies said Braddock was found wandering along the highway, “speaking to herself and swinging her arms around,” two days after she allegedly killed her mother and left her lying on a recliner in the home.

At their home, a deputy found the front door “cracked open” and the victim was sitting in a recliner deceased with multiple stab wounds.

During an interview with investigators, Braddock said she stabbed her mother with a hunting knife on July 22, but “did not believe the victim to be deceased, so she stabbed the victim several more times,” authorities said.
