Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawakia tētahi whaea e 27 tau te pakeke mo te korenga o tana tamaiti, ā, i whakawhiwhia ōna māhanga ki te tiaki i muri i te kitenga o tana tamahine toru marama te pakeke kua mate. I kitea te pēpi i runga i te papa o te whare i whakangaromia e te pākaka, he wero ki ona waewae me tona matenga. I puta a Brittany Cherokee Dawn Bell o Bartlesville, Oklahoma, ki te Kooti Rohe o Washington County mā te mātakitaki ataata mai i te whare herehere i te Mane. Ko te whakapae mo te korenga o te tamaiti i whai i nga mana i runga i te kohuru i te mea kaore i taea e te Tari Medical Examiner te whakatau i te take o te mate. I karangahia te pirihimana ki te whare o Bell i te Hanuere 8 i muri i tana ripoata i te matenga o te kohungahunga. Ko Brittany Cherokee Dawn Bell o Bartlesville, Oklahoma, i whakawakia mo te korenga o te tamaiti i muri i te matenga o tana tamahine e toru marama te pakeke, i kitea tona tinana me nga werohanga roach i runga i ona waewae me tona mahunga. I a Bell e moe ana i runga i te moenga, ka mate a Alice i runga i te papa tata. Kāore i mārama te āhua o tēnei me te roa o tōna takoto ki reira. Ko tana kōrero tuatahi, nāna te pēpi, nā Alice, i whakatakoto ki roto i tētahi moenga, kātahi ka kitea ia e mate ana i muri mai. Kātahi ka huri i a ia tana kōrero, a ka whakaae i whakatakotoria e ia te pēpi ki te papa. I kii a Bell tera pea i werohia te peepi e ona maatua 18-marama-tau i te hae i muri i tana moe i a ia e matakitaki ana i tetahi kiriata me ratou. Ka mea ia i wehi ia i tetahi o ratou i patua Alice e noho ana i runga i a ia, ko te aha i mea ia i te timatanga i te tamaiti i roto i te moenga. Ko te whakamātautau whakamātautau i whakarārangitia te take o te matenga hei mate ohorere, kāore i taea te whakamārama, me te āhua o te matenga kāore i te mōhiotia. I kitea e te kairangahau rongoā he ngoikoretanga i runga i nga waewae me te mahunga o Alice na te ngeru i uru ki te whare. I roto i tētahi tauākī, ka mea te kairangahau a Jim Warring: 'Ka taea e au te whakatau i whakatakotoria e ia te pēpi ki te papa, ā, ka moe, kāore anō ia kia oho ake, i taua wā pea i mate a Alice i tētahi, i ōna māhanga rānei, i raru rānei i te mata o te papa, ā, ka mate.' 'Kua nui hoki te wa i pahemo ka taea e nga roach te kai i nga waewae me te mahunga o te peepi,' ka tapiritia e ia. 'Ko enei mea katoa i puta...
I mate te pēpi e toru marama te pakeke o Alice i ngā take kāore i mōhiotia, ā, i kitea ki ngā werohanga o te pākaka i runga i ōna waewae me tōna matenga. I kitea e Brittany Bell, 27, te kohungahunga mate, ā, i āwangawanga pea ko tētahi o ana māhanga te kawenga i muri i tana moe i a ia e matakitaki ana i tētahi pikitia ki a rātau. I te mea kaore i kitea te take o te mate, kaore i taea e nga mana whakahaere te whai i te whakapae mo te kohuru. He hītori a Bell mō te waiho i āna tamariki nohinohi, nā reira i karanga ai ngā hoa noho ki te pirihimana i tētahi wā o mua. Kua riro ngā māhanga ki te tiaki, ā, ka tū atu a Bell ki te whakawā i te 8 o Mei.
