“A heartbreaking incident at Niagara Falls has left the community reeling.”
According to police, a mother ‘intentionally’ jumped from the iconic landmark with her two young children.
On October 28, state police responded to reports of a woman and her children going over the railings into the falls.
The victims have been identified as 33-year-old Chianti Means, her nine-year-old son Roman Rossman, and her five-month-old daughter Mecca Means.
“A 33-year-old mother, a nine-year-old, and a five-month-old all went over the falls,” a police spokesperson reported.
Investigators have discovered troubling social media posts from Chianti in the weeks leading up to the tragedy.
“Just a month before her death, Chianti shared a post saying, ‘I wish someone would love me because the man who’s supposed to does not.’”
These poignant words reveal a deep sense of loneliness and despair.
Just a few days later, she shared an image featuring the caption: ‘Sick of irritation, anger, sadness, and rage.
“On October 1, she conveyed her distress, saying: ‘Everyone please leave me alone; I’m in love with my daughter’s father.’”
“I want my family back. Respectfully, I don’t care what I said about him before or what anyone else thinks,” she wrote, expressing her profound desire for reconciliation.
“One day before the tragedy, Chianti’s final post was eerie: ‘Unfortunately for everyone who wants to be with me… my body only craves one person. GM.’”
These unsettling messages depict a woman in emotional distress, holding onto the hope of love.
“Police have confirmed that the incident was intentional, but additional details are still unclear.”
The emotional intensity of her social media posts suggests a desperate cry for help that went unnoticed.
