The decomposing bodies of Jacks' daughters—ages 5 to 17—were discovered in January 2008 when U.S. marshals came to evict her from her southeast Washington home. In a video taped interview to determine competency to stand trial, Banita Jacks said her children stopped being her daughters and took on the identities of the demons. "They got so bad," she said. Jacks went on to claim her eldest daughter, Brittany, was possessed by a demon she called "Jezebel," a prostitute who caused suffering and spread disease.
