Mrs. Hirsch is the mother of Clare and Dominique Hirsch.
Biography[]
Mrs. Hirsch and her husband resided in New York City along with their two daughters, Clare and Dominique.
Shortly after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and the world anticipated a nuclear war, her husband went crazy following Dominique's repeated use of the word "Wah", which sounded like the word "war" to him. Out of fear that the United States and the Soviet Union could engage in war very soon, Mr. Hirsch killed both of their kids in front of her with a kitchen knife to "spare" them, and then slit his own throat. Mrs. Hirsch is left as the only survivor and eyewitness.
Mrs. Hirsch tried to explain all that she could about the incident to Detectives Joe Bourquin and Steven Fine while crying. Bourquin attributed these events to astrological omens like Halley's comet, and the media. After being questioned, Officer Capaldi drove Mrs. Hirsch to the hospital.[1]
Trivia[]
- The Hirsch family seemed to embody a spiritual and pacifist way of life, clearly reflected in their home's decor. A poster depicting the Buddha, inspirational messages such as "Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life," and anti-nuclear slogans like "No Nukes" adorned their walls. Additionally, a prominent poster of the Grateful Dead's Aoxomoxoa further highlighted their lifestyle.
