Marlene Vidal, a 34-year-old mother from Edinburg, has been charged with two counts of capital murder and one count of arson in connection with the deaths of her two children in San Antonio. She was arraigned on Saturday, with a bond set at $2.1 million—$1 million for each murder charge and $100,000 for arson. The children, aged 5 and 7, were found dead in a burning vehicle on Richland Hills Drive. Authorities believe Vidal is solely responsible, and while a motive is unclear, mental health issues may be involved. If released on bail, she will be under house arrest and monitored.
