By Edward Era Barbacena
On this day alone, there more than once cases of toddler being murdered by their own mother in the United States. Apparently all of these cases have one thing in common, the culprits are white.
The badly decomposed body of a 1-year-old Oklahoma girl was found at the bottom of a dresser — and her mom and her boyfriend have been charged in the shocking murder.
The remains of Oaklee Mae Snow, who was reported missing in January, were found in the dresser in an abandoned home near Martinsville, Indiana, on April 21 after a national search, the Indianapolis Star reported
The Morgan County Coroner’s Office this week ruled that the toddler — whose body was stuffed in a drawer with a leg broken at the knee — died by homicide from “unspecified means,” according to the news outlet.
Investigators said Oaklee’s mom Madison Marshall has confessed to her role in the gruesome death and led police to the property, located some 25 miles south of Indianapolis.
Marshall was charged with two counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in death and assisting a criminal — which authorities identified as her boyfriend Roan Waters, who faces a murder charge and several neglect-related counts.
The mother told investigators that she and her boyfriend moved Oaklee’s body to Morgan County in February after he allegedly killed her.
Marshall was accused of removing her daughter and her 7-month-old son from their father’s home without his consent in January.
The three reportedly traveled with Waters to Indiana, where he has family near Indianapolis.
The couple stayed in a “trap house” on Albany Street in Indianapolis and used drugs, Fox 59 reported.
