PUNTA GORDA -- The night of June 1, Ruth Ann Burns spent $4.28 to buy crayons, a coloring book, apple juice and a 12-inch kitchen knife.

Burns returned to her room at a nearby motel with her daughter, Hannah, for the night. It would be their last together.

Within 24 hours, the Port Charlotte resident would plunge the knife into the 7-year-old girl's chest 34 times before slashing her throat, authorities said.

Details of the brutal slaying appear in hundreds of pages of court documents released Friday that comprise the state's case against Burns, a 28-year-old Chicago native who has a lifelong history of mental illness.
