A mother whose toddler’s body was found in a dresser drawer after the one-year-old girl had been thrown on the floor by her boyfriend will be spending 25 years in prison, while the boyfriend was sentenced to nearly twice that for his role in the child’s death.
Two years after the lifeless body of Oaklee Snow was found in the bottom drawer of a dresser in an abandoned home in Indiana, a Marion County judge issued the sentences Friday for Madison Marshall and boyfriend Roan Waters after the two took plea deals to avoid harsher penalties, Fox59 reported.
The little girl was found on April 21, 2023, in Morgan County after she was reported missing from her father’s home in Oklahoma. The toddler had been taken without her father’s permission by her mother along with Oaklee’s seven-month-old brother.
The police investigation reported Marshall took the children and moved to Indiana with her boyfriend Waters, where they lived in a “trap house” — slang for a house used by drug addicts.
The couple then abandoned the 7-month-old boy, police said.
