Tyiece Oninski called the non-emergency number of the Rock County Communications Center on Friday, March 20, claiming she had killed her daughter.
During the call, which lasted over 13 minutes, Oninski stated she had killed her 14-year-old daughter the previous night, then attempted suicide.
Oninski told dispatchers she “murdered [her daughter] to protect her from somebody else, period,” and later explained she was protecting her daughter from Elon Musk.
She requested an ambulance and a hearse. When dispatch asked if she wanted an ambulance for her daughter, Oniknski allegedly responded, “she’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse.”
When officers arrived, they found Oninski with a deep cut on her neck, both her wrists and what appeared to be a stab wound on her cheek.
Officers went inside the house and found 14-year-old Kuren Rein dead from multiple stab wounds. A knife and sheath were also found nearby.
Investigators also say they saw a partial bare footprint inside the home, and later realized Oninski’s left foot was stained with what looked to be blood.
Oninski was taken to the hospital, where she allegedly tested positive for benzodiazepines, amphetamines, and THC in her blood.
When was hospitalized, she allegedly asked a deputy if her name was in the news, and was disappointed to find out it was not.
