'''Gigi Jordan''' (1960 - December 31, 2022) was a former socialite and millionaire who poisoned her eight-year-old autistic son Jude Mirra in 2010 before attempting suicide. Although she claimed that it was a mercy killing, there was evidence suggesting that she regarded her son as a burden and that she force-fed him a toxic cocktail despite her claims that it had been his idea. Jordan was also able to transfer money out of Jude's trust fund and into his own before she killed him.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/05/29/a-murder-or-a-mercy-killing-the-tangled-and-troubling-trial-of-gigi-jordan/ The millionaire mom who poisoned her autistic son and called it a mercy killing], The Washington Post</ref> It was also suggested that messages between her and Jude, who was nonverbal, in which he asked her to kill him had been faked, as they displayed a higher level of literacy than him.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/05/justice/new-york-autistic-death-trial/ New York businesswoman guilty of manslaughter in son's death], CNN</ref> Eventually, in 2015 Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon sentenced her to eighteen years in prison.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2015/05/28/millionaire-mom-who-killed-autistic-son-gets-18-years-in-jail/ Millionaire mom who killed autistic son gets 18 years in jail], The New York Post</ref> Her conviction was later vacated in 2020 due to procedural violations and she was released on bail and placed under house arrest to await a new trial; however, her bail was revoked in December 2022 and she was ordered to return to prison.
