Woman killed mom to steal children, police say

RINGGOLD, GA -- Police say a woman lured a mother to a northwest Georgia home, killed her and stole her children.

Police say on Friday Catherine Goins, 37, of Hixson, TN, shot Natalia Roberts, 30, of LaFayette, at a house in Ringgold, GA, ABC affiliate station WSB reports.

Goins lured Roberts to the house under the pretense of giving her some clothes for her baby, investigators say. That's where they say Goins opened fire, shooting Roberts in the back of the head.

After Roberts was shot, investigators say Goins took Roberts' children, a 3-week-old baby and a 3-year-old, and left the house, which belonged to a one-time boyfriend of Goins'.

Citing police, WSB reports the two had never met, so it's unclear how they got together.

Investigators say Goins originally claimed Roberts was an intruder.

Goins is charged with murder, with more possible charges on the way. She is being held in the Catoosa County Jail.

The children are currently with other family members. Catoosa County Sheriff Gary Sisk says Goins has a child from a previous relationship.
