Detectives from the Dependent Child Unit responded to continue the investigation. They learned that at the time of the incident, there were five adults and 11 kids inside the daycare. The day care provider was identified as 31-year-old Daena Soto. Soto put the baby down for a nap around 4 p.m.; she was found a short time later unresponsive by a family member of Soto and they called 911 immediately.
As the investigation continued, detectives learned that family members of Soto began cleaning the residence prior to police arrival. Police reports state officers had to actually ask a woman to stop vacuuming when they arrived. Police also determined that the Daena Soto's mother-in-law, 55-year old Guadalupe Soto, removed a blanket from the home...
Court documents stated Guadalupe Soto carried the blanket with blood and vomit on it, in an empty beer case, past officers at the scene, and put it in her car. When questioned about it, court documents stated Soto said she had taken the blanket home, hosed it off in her front yard, and then thrown it out her car window while driving. Police served search warrants at Guadalupe Soto's home and also searched the streets, but were unable to find the blanket until a few days later.
