#didyouknow on Thanksgiving Day Massacre occurred in Reno, Nevada, on November 27, 1980. Priscilla Joyce Ford, a 51-year-old woman, drove her 1974 Lincoln Continental onto a crowded sidewalk, killing six people and injuring 23 others.
Ford, who had a history of mental issues, claimed she was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and was acting on orders from a voice she heard.
Ford's actions were motivated by her belief that Reno authorities had taken her daughter, Wynter Scott, away from her seven years prior. She had previously threatened to harm people if she didn't get help finding her daughter!
Ford was sentenced to death in 1982 but died in prison on January 29, 2005, at the age of 75 due to emphysema complications.
