Michele and Dwyatt Creamer say they've grieved Kaitlyn Yozviak twice now.

The first time was when they found out they weren't taking Kaitlyn home from the hospital in 2008. The second time was learning that Kaitlyn had passed away.

Kaitlyn Yozviak is the 12-year-old who died in Wilkinson County after suffering "excessive physical pain due to medical negligence," according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Both parents, Katie Horton and Joey Yozviak, were arrested on charges of murder and child cruelty.

GBI Special Agent Ryan Hilton told Judge Brenda Trammell that Kaitlyn had “the most severe” lice infestation at the time of her death that the GBI’s office had ever seen, and it may have lasted on and off for at least three years.

Citing medical records from Navicent Health Baldwin, Hilton said Yozviak's primary cause of death was cardiac arrest with a secondary cause being severe anemia.


Hilton said he believed repeated bites from the lice lowered her blood iron levels, which likely caused the anemia, and may have triggered the cardiac attack.

Her mother also told investigators Kaitlyn had not bathed within the last week and half before she died.

I don't even know what to say. Dying from an untreated lice infestation that may have gone on for up to three years?? This poor girl! And to think she was almost adopted at birth. So very tragic.

I don’t have words either @Hoosgirl

Following her mother’s arrest in her daughter’s death, Horton, too, was discovered to have a severe case of head lice and had to have her head shaved while incarcerated in the Wilkinson County Law Enforcement Center. Absolutely disgusting.

Mods, this should be a pled guilty, please? TY

Kaitlyn had “the most severe” lice infestation at the time of her death that the GBI’s office had ever seen, and it may have lasted on and off for at least three years. Mom had them, too.
