An interesting issue
I was watching CSI the other night and it made me think. (WARNING: spoilers ahead if you haven't yet seen season 6!)

Two families, both with missing teenage daughters. The murdered body of one is found. The parents are naturally distraught. The other parents brace themselves for the worst - but it turns out their daughter is alive and well, and is actually the one who killed the other girl.
So, is it worse to find out you've lost a son or daughter - or that your child is a murderer?

I can't imagine that either would be a good option.
I think that finding out your kid is a murderer.

Don't we get taught / conditioned to believe that our parents will love us no matter what... as a mom to be, what would you prefer?

I think nothing is worse than losing the child. No matter what they've done - even if it's unforgiveable - at least they would still be around...
If they are 'pure evil' and have no remorse that might be pretty damn hard to deal with though.

I'd be wondering where I have gone wrong and what evil thing I must've done to my kid to turn him/her into a killer. That, I think, would be worse.

Indeed - a very valid point...
