A 49-year-old central Missouri woman was charged for allegedly giving her teenage daughter a fatal dose of heroin... Starletta Blevins (aka Moore) of Dixon was arrested February 3 on charges of second-degree murder, distribution of a controlled substance, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Maries County deputies found the body of 16-year-old Kaylynn Moore in her bed in Blevins home on Christmas Eve...
This is not the first fatal overdose to occur in the family, according to the sheriff. Moores 15-year-old sister died in April 2003 under similar circumstances.

A probable cause statement in the case states that Blevins-Moore gave her daughter hydrocodone pills that were crushed and snorted by Kaylynn Moore and her boyfriend, 23. Both passed out on their bed and when he awakened about 9:30 a.m. Dec. 24, he found Moore dead beside him.
A 10-year-old child also was in the home at the time of the death and it was noted by detectives that the house was strewn with rotten food, animal waste and trash. The overall sanitary conditions were poor, the statement says.
Blevins-Moore is being held in the Maries County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 17.
