My thoughts go out to the family of the little girl in this situation. The woman is now facing capital murder charges for the death of the little girl. Read the article below for more details on this case.
A Texas woman faces capital murder charges after police said she suffocated her fiance's daughter, then tried to cover up the killing by claiming she had been rapedin a home invasion that turned out to be staged.
Melinda Lynn Muniz, 25, was arrested Tuesday following a police investigation into the death of Grace Lillian Ford, her fiance's 2-year-old.
Muniz reportedly called her fiance claiming she had been attacked at home on Jan. 9. The man found Muniz with her mouth taped shut and her pants pulled down. Grace was found in her crib with her mouth taped shut.
Responders said Grace's lips and face were blue, but her body was still warm. The little girl died three days later, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Muniz told investigators she had been raped by an unknown male, but police soon identified conflicts in her story and said it was "inconsistent" with what they found.Lab results showed no signs she was sexually assaulted, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
