   A mother accused of hanging her young children and having sex   
   with the family dog appeared to show no remorse as she went on   
   trial last week.   
      
   Lisa Snyder, 37, appeared in court in Reading, Pennsylvania on   
   Wednesday, charged with murdering four-year-old Brinley and   
   eight-year-old Conner Snyder in their home last September.   
      
   Snyder was also charged with animal cruelty and sexual   
   intercourse with a dog, after investigators uncovered sexually   
   explicit photos of her with the family pet that she allegedly   
   sent to an unidentified man.   
      
   The case was initially moved from Hamburg district court because   
   of security concerns. Snyder is charged with murdering her   
   children by hanging them on opposite ends of a heavy-duty dog   
   lead in the basement of her home.   
      
   She claimed Conner killed himself because he was bullied in   
   school, but did not want to alone so he killed his sister as   
   well.   
      
   Brinley and Conner were found hanged and unresponsive in the   
   basement of their home on September 23. They were revived, but   
   died three days later after being taken off life support at   
   Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.   
      
   Investigators also claimed Snyder Google-searched ‘hanging   
   yourself’ and visited a website explaining effective ways to   
   hang a person.   
      
   She also searched ‘how long to die from carbon monoxide’ and   
   ‘almost got away with it,’ which is a reference to a true crime   
   show, according to court records.   
      
   According to a police affidavit, Snyder also sent a man messages   
   on Facebook, describing a dog performing sex acts on her, while   
   officers also wrote she sent a photo of a ‘black and white dog   
   performing oral sex on her’.   
      
   Snyder also told a witness that she was ‘depressed and doesn’t   
   care anymore about her kids,’ Berks County District Attorney   
   John Adams said in a press conference.   
      
   He added that Snyder showed ‘little to no emotion’ when she was   
   arrested at her home on Monday.   
      
   In court, prosecutors said Conner had physical problems that   
   made it impossible to manipulate the clasp on the dog lead by   
   himself.   
      
   ‘Conner was incapable of doing this to himself. He was incapable   
   of doing this to his sister,’ Assistant District Attorney   
   Margaret McCallum said.
