Last summer, the tragedy of two children dying in the trunk of a car in Springdale, AR, brought an outpouring of sympathy for their parents. Monday, the mother was arrested because, as it turns out, she had left the 4 and 5 year olds unsupervised outside while she chatted with a fellow swinger for 2 hours. A warrant for her arrest was issued Nov 30, but she just turned herself a couple of days ago.
In the preliminary affidavit, Detective Matt Ray states Markley lied, saying she had watched her children go into the houses of two different neighbors, neighbors who said they were away from home at that time.
Ray also states: "a witness contacted the police department because he had been on-line chatting with Katrina Markley through an adult friend finders, or "swingers" website"
. . .
So police and prosecutors say Markley's neglect led to the death of her children, who, according to Markley's mother, liked to play inside the car. http://www.kfsm.com/news/kfsm-news-markley-charged-children-death-trunk,0,4155719.story
