Police said Jillian Meredith McCabe, 34, called 911 from the bridge in Newport as darkness fell Monday to report what she had done and waited until police arrived.
"I just threw my son over the Yaquina Bay Bridge," McCabe told the dispatcher, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Tuesday in Lincoln County Circuit Court. She described her son, London, and the clothes he was wearing, saying he was in the water and gone. Later that night, a body was reported in the water at a bayside resort, and police said it was the boy.
Andrew McCabe also confirmed that Jillian McCabe had posted YouTube videos, one showing her husband in a hospital bed and their son pushing a button to raise and lower it. Another shows her son sitting in a hammock, smiling with a cup of juice and engrossed in an iPad. When she asks if he is happy, he says nothing. When she tells him to say "help" if he wants a push in the hammock, he says, "help." Still another video shows the boy holding a stuffed toy lion and throwing coins in an indoor fountain to make a wish.
