Mother of Los Angeles 'Solar Eclipse killer' who murdered Air Force veteran ... trends now
The mother of the Los Angeles woman who killed her husband and baby before killing herself in a 100mph head-on-crash has said her daughter fought 'legions of demons'.
Danielle Johnson, 34, murdered her Air Force veteran partner Jaelen Allen Chaney, 29, and their eight-month-old baby at their apartment in Woodland Hills, California on April 8.
She fled the scene with her two daughters and pushed both of them out of the car on the 405 Freeway. The infant was hit and killed by another vehicle but her nine-year-old sister made it to the side of the road and called for help.
Her mother Sharonda Cole says she was struggling with mental health issues, 'low-vibrational energy' and postpartum depression.
Johnson made a series of unhinged posts on social media where she talked about an imminent apocalypse and the solar eclipse bringing the 'ultimate spiritual warfare'.

Johnson had a sizable social media presence with 100,000 people following her astrological advice and purchasing items for her 'candle magic' rituals.

Cole tried to Johnson to seek help and thought she should see her own reiki healer or talk with a therapist.
'Nobody knew what was happening because she was so good at seeming like she was good,' she said. 'But she was not good for a while.'
