And much of that pressure comes from the sheer horror of seeing innocent children who were senselessly slain.

"You do your job,” said homicide Inspector Kyle Eastridge. "You're professional. But it bothers you. If it doesn't bother you, I don't know, there's something wrong with you.”

Cunningham and Eastridge are not investigating the Weleetka slayings of Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11.

Aside from the external pressures, child death cases are little different from other homicides, Cunningham said.
