Oninski said, “murdered [her daughter] to protect her from somebody else, period.” However, she later said she killed her daughter to protect her from Elon Musk. Her daughter, Kuren Rein, had multiple stab wounds.
Oninski asked the dispatcher to send an ambulance and a hearse. When the dispatcher asked if she needed an ambulance for her daughter, she replied, “She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse.” According to FOX8Live, investigators found a knife and a sheath along with her body. They also discovered partial bare footprints at the home.
Later, it was confirmed that the blood-stained prints belonged to the mother. She had cuts on her neck, cheek, and both wrists from her failed suicide attempt. She was taken to Beloit Memorial Hospital for treatment, where she also tested positive for substances like THC, benzodiazepines, and amphetamines.
She also asked whether her name was in the news after the incident and was disappointed after finding out it wasn’t. The Rock County Medical Examiner’s Department found no defensive wounds on the victim’s body.

Oninski has now been charged with first-degree intentional homicide. She was given a $1 million bond and is expected to appear in court on April 14. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe was started after Rein’s tragic death to support her brother.
The donation plea reads, “This tragedy has left a family, friends, and an entire community grieving in ways words cannot fully express. We are coming together to support a young man who has just lost his sister in a devastating and unthinkable way at the hands of their own mother. No one should have to face something like this, especially at such a young age. As he navigates this overwhelming grief, we want to ease the burden of funeral expenses so he can focus on healing and remembering his sister. So far, $12,270 has been raised.
