Las Vegas Mom Charged With Killing Her 2 Babies Said Organs ‘Worth a Lot of Money'
A Las Vegas mom killed her two daughters and was ready to sell their organs hours after the killing happened.
This was reported by the victims' father, according to a Daily News report.
Amanda Sharp-Jefferson, 26, was arrested by police Friday after her boyfriend found the bodies of their two infant daughters.
The father found his kids piled on top of one another in a baby swing, as showed in an arrest report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Victims Rose and Lily, aged one and two, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Jefferson was immediately taken into custody, according to the police. The local coroner's office is still determining what exactly caused the infants' death.
Jaykwon Singleton said he believes his girlfriend drowned their children. He asked Jefferson why the kids were stacked on top of each other. Singleton then went to check on the kids.
He then realized that they were not breathing, and their bodies were cold. Singleton told police that the suspect kept shushing him, and at one point, said their children's organs were worth a lot of money.
Singleton also told police that they had been together since 2018 and they do not have any issues until Jefferson recently started talking about the altar spirit world, as reported by the Review Journal.
Jefferson went on to accuse Singleton to be cheating on her with his "spirit wife."
Singleton said he left the apartment on Thursday to visit his grandmother. He told police that Jefferson seemed fine and everything was normal at the time, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Jefferson's family also arrived after Singleton called 911. The family said that they were also angry with the suspect.

Police then took the suspect to custody and questioned her. However, Jefferson said in a queer statement that she did not have any children and did not know Singleton.
Jefferson also said she lived alone in her apartment and woke up on Friday to find two children in her living room that appeared to be dead.
She told the police that she believed the children, their toys, and their strollers were planted in the apartment by someone else. She added that she believed that she had been set up.
Police said that Jefferson did not call for help. Instead, she took a shower as she said she "likes showers."
Police said it was still unclear how the children died. Court records showed at least one prior arrest for Jefferson.
She pleaded no contest to a Jan. 2017 misdemeanor destruction of property charge. The case was later dismissed, as reported by the Review-Journal.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Karen Bennett-Haron presided a court hearing, where Jefferson appeared on Tuesday. The suspect is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on two counts of open murder.
There will be another scheduled hearing for Thursday. In this hearing, attorneys are expected to argue whether Jefferson should continue to be held without bail.
