Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina Charged With Manslaughter

Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina

Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina are a couple from Wyoming who have been charged with manslaughter in the death of a nine month old infant

According to police reports the body of a nine month old infant, Renzamae Medina, was found in a home in Wyoming that was filled with trash. Renzamae Medina was rushed to the hospital where she would pass away from her injuries

After a length investigation that included an autopsy that showed that the little girl diaper rash was so severe that it was eroded into her flesh. The autopsy could not find the actual cause of death but it was possible the little girl was suffocated

Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina were ultimately arrested and have been charged with manslaughter and child abuse charges

Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina News

The parents of an infant who died last October have been arrested and charged with manslaughter and child abuse.

Tevin Medina and Bailey Bettinson were taken into custody Tuesday, March 26, after Uinta County Attorney Loretta Howieson Kallas filed charges Monday, and remain in the Uinta County Detention Center at this time. If convicted, they face up to 20 years for manslaughter and up to another 10 for child abuse.

Nine-month-old Renezmae Medina was found dead at her home, located at 215 Feather Way (Rocky Point Apartments), around 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 20, 2023. Born on Jan. 16, 2023, the infant was celebrated as the first baby born in Uinta County last year.

Medical staff performing an abuse and neglect screening at Evanston Regional Hospital found “unexplained bruising in the ‘peri area,’” court documents state. The peri area includes tissue that makes up the bottom of the pelvic cavity.

Investigators also allegedly found large abrasions around the victim’s vaginal area, the right buttock and right leg. Medical staff told investigators the abrasions were from diaper rash so extensive that “the rash appeared to be entering into the flesh as well as the skin,” according to court documents.

An autopsy performed on Oct. 23, 2023, by state medical examiner Randall Frost, could not determine a cause of death “but could not rule out an asphyxia death.” Frost recommended further investigation.

According to an affidavit filed in support of arrest and signed by Evanston Police Det. Scott Faddis, investigators found the house to be covered in filth — pet urine and feces not only on the floors, but the walls, rotting food, a soiled diaper with exposed feces atop a pile of trash.

The state also alleges the children in the home at the time (the infant victim and Tevin Medina’s 3-year-old stepdaughter) were exposed to other dangers, such as a pointed steak knife on the children’s bedroom floor next to dried vomit, an unsheathed hunting knife exposed on top of a clothes dryer and Medina’s tattoo gun and needles within reach of the young children.

According to court documents, the stench of the apartment was so bad, detectives had to take breaks for fresh air while processing the scene and a neighbor allegedly said she can smell the odors from outside the apartment.

The day Renezmae was found dead, Medina’s stepdaughter was taken into protective custody by the Wyoming Department of Family Services “because of the filthy unsafe living conditions of the defendant’s residence,” the affidavit states.

An Evanston officer responded to apartment more than a month before Renezmae’s death. According to court documents, EPD was dispatched to the residence to assist the apartment’s management with an inspection of the apartment. Management had complained of bad living conditions for the children, the affidavit states.

“The residence was littered with animal feces, rotten odors, mold, clothes and many other dirty items,” court documents state. Management also provided EPD with photos, which were sent to DFS, along with the incident report.

According to the affidavit, DFS worked cases concerning the living conditions at the home a year earlier — on Sept. 6, 2022, and then on Sept. 21, 2022 — before Renezmae was born.

It wasn’t immediately clear when Bailey Bettinson and Tevin Medina will be in court but, unless they waive it, they will each have a preliminary hearing in Uinta County Circuit Court, where Judge Michael L. Greer will determine whether there’s enough evidence to move the cases to Third District Court, where felonies are prosecuted.

Samantha Wishman Murders 3 YR Old Boy

Samantha Wishman

Samantha Wishman is an alleged killer from Wisconsin who has been charged in the death of a three year old boy

According to police reports 911 was called to report an unresponsive three year old. When emergency personnel arrived they would find the body of three year old. Samantha Wishman and the boy’s father would tell police the child had fallen down the stairs the night before

Initially the death was ruled as an accident however an autopsy would reveal that the three year old boy had been dead for sometime before the emergency personnel had arrived at the home and there was also a number of injuries to the body of the child that did not match a fall down the stairs

Police would arrest Samantha Wishman after her phone history would reveal texts that pointed to a much more sinister event that took place. Wishman who told the person she was texting with that she was ready to cause harm to the children in the home

Samantha Wishman has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and neglect of a child resulting in death

Samantha Wishman News

A Marinette woman has been charged with two counts, including reckless homicide, for the death of her boyfriend’s 3-year-old son.

Samantha Wishman, 32, is charged with first-degree reckless homicide and neglecting a child-consequence is death for the June 15, 2023 death. An initial court appearance is scheduled for April 15.

According to the criminal complaint, first responders were called to a Gilbert Street home for a child who was unresponsive and not breathing. Wishman told police the boy had fallen down the stairs the night before.

The child was taken to a hospital, but died. Police observed “significant bruising” on his head, his abdomen appeared distended, and there were bruises across other areas of his body, the complaint states. The autopsy show multiple rib fractures and a lung laceration, among other injuries.

Wishman showed police where the boy fell down the stairs, and where she said she cared for him afterwards.

During the investigation, police discovered text messages Wishman sent the father, including one which stated “I’m ready to hurt these mother (expletive) kids nobody (expletive) understands I can’t breathe so this is so much harder n now I’m having more problems breathing.”

Another child who lives in the house described Wishman using a belt on the children in the house, as well as other discipline including spanking, a wooden spoon, and slapping.

Police interviewed Wishman about two weeks after the death, telling her the injuries suffered were not consistent with a fall down the stairs, and she replied “Doesn’t make sense,” the complaint says.

“In summary, the finding of multiplanar patterned bruising; bruising in anatomically protected locations; and severe internal injuries would not be expected after a stairway fall. In my opinion, (the victim) has likely been a victim of non-accidental trauma which led to his death,” states the repot by Dr. Kristen Iniguez, Director of the Marshfield Child Advocacy Center, as quoted in the complaint.

Janet Garcia, 27, of Lynnwood, Washington, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and first-degree assault of a child. She was arrested and charged with making a false statement to a public servant in Clark County earlier in the day.

She was booked in the Snohomish County jail Friday night.

The boy, Ariel Garcia, was reported missing by other family members on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, the Washington State Patrol sent out a mass alert to the public about his disappearance.

The boy’s body was found in Pierce County along Interstate 5 at 5:55 p.m. on Thursday, according to the Everett Police Department.

“I am completely heartbroken for the family and friends of Ariel Garcia and they will remain in my thoughts as they grieve this unbelievably tragic loss,” said Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin in a press release.

According to documents from the Clark County District Court, Janet Garcia told police her son fell out of a bed and hit his head when they were staying at a friend’s house in Everett. When the friend returned to their house, they found a “substantial amount” of blood and Janet and Ariel were gone.

Janet Garcia was found in Ridgefield, Washington, while law enforcement was searching for her son.

Petition for emergency guardianship

Ariel Garcia’s grandmother filed a petition for emergency guardianship in Snohomish County Superior Court on Monday, days before Ariel Garcia went missing. In the petition, the grandmother asked a judge to appoint her Ariel Garcia’s emergency guardian, saying her daughter, Janet Garcia, struggled with alcohol and drug abuse, which had “gotten worse” in the last few months.

The grandmother said Janet Garcia recently took Ariel Garcia with her to drink at a bar with a friend and he was wearing inappropriate clothing for the weather. She also left Ariel Garcia in the care of his 7-year-old brother for a day without proper supervision.

“While she is on drugs, her behavior is unpredictable and I am scared she will harm him in the process,” the grandmother wrote in the petition.
