Nanny Horror: Mom Finds Kids Stabbed to Death Oct 26th 2012, 13:36 The Manhattan mother of two young children found fatally stabbed in their tony Upper West Side apartment maintained a blog of her children, detailing the "precious hours" she spent with them. Marina Krim returned to her West 75th Street home at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday with her third child after nanny Yoselyn Ortega, 50, failed to meet her for swimming lessons with Krim's two other children, Leo, 2, and Lucia, 6. When she arrived, the children were already dead in a bathtub and Ortega lay injured nearby with apparently self-inflicted stab wounds, according to police. "Something happened to my kids!" screamed the sobbing mom, who wrapped the nanny's neck with a towel. Doorman Glen Loody told the New York Post he heard the distraught mother's cries and called 911. "She was crying. She was screaming," he said. Ortega, who was found near a knife, remains hospitalized early Friday in stable condition, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne told FoxNews.com. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said it's unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family. Ortega, who has no criminal record, had not been charged as of early Friday. Krim, a pediatrician who was a stay-at-home mother until a year ago, kept a loving online journal of her children's lives, including apple-picking trips, family vacations and strolls down Broadway, the Post reported. In Krim's latest entry, posted just three hours before finding Lucia and Leo dead, the loving mom wrote about her son learning to put words together. "Leo speaks in the most adorable way possible," Marina Krim wrote, describing her mood at the time as "amused." Marina and her husband Kevin were extra careful in hiring and vetting Ortega, even spending nine days with her family in the Dominican Republic prior to her hiring, according to friends. "Kevin told me that she was a nice girl," the children's paternal grandmother, Karen Krim, told The Post. "How could she do something like that? The children were angels." Ortega's niece, Katherine Garcia, 28, said her aunt had seemed a little off and was "acting kind of nervous lately." "This is just shocking," she told the newspaper. "She loved those kids. I don't know what would make her do this." Kevin Krim, a CNBC executive, was returning from a business trip to San Francisco and was notified of the horrific killings once he arrived in Manhattan last night, a source said. Police then took him to St. Luke's Hospital, where Krim had to be sedated. The couple's third child, Nessie, 3, did not witness the carnage at her home. Originally from the West Coast, the Krims moved into the neighborhood a few years ago. Neighbors described the young family as happy and loving. "It's horrifying," said one resident, who met the nanny for the first time Wednesday. "She was very quiet — she just stared ahead." The couple's three children had participated at their aunt's wedding just last month, with Leo acting as a ring bearer and Lucia and Nessie serving as flower girls. "I just don't understand," another neighbor said. "It's so senseless. A nanny would be the last person I'd think would ever do something like that. I'm in shock. Total disbelief."
