Breanna Henson, 30, was arrested to face one count of felony child abuse after officials responded to a call regarding her unresponsive infant, Patricia Henson, about 1 a.m. at a home the two were staying at.

Patricia was pronounced dead on scene. Dugan said she had puncture wounds and scratches possibly caused by a dog but an autopsy is needed to determine the cause of death.

I can't access this article:

Ex-Arizona lawmaker to be sentenced in June in Alaska murder

Anything interesting? Charges? Next court date?

TIA! :)
Hi Niner! Nope, the article only mentions Breanna Henson once and it links to the article from January 25 that JerseyGirl posted above.

From that link:
The interim complaint filed in Pima County Consolidated Justice Court says Henson was intoxicated at the time and woke up to find Patricia unresponsive with "significant trauma." Henson was the only adult in the home.
...
The investigation is ongoing. No further information has been released.
This article says the mother was charged with child abuse then released into the custody of her parents. Her next hearing was on February 6.

Inmate lookup just says no bond set.

Sorry.
 
Thank you for checking MsMarple - much appreciated!

I tried to find her on Pima County also - no luck - I believe there were some old cases.

I'll put her on Feb. 6th then! :)

I just checked too and zero results on any Henson. I guess it makes sense if she was released to her parents.
 
Autopsy shows 8-month-old girl died after several injuries

TUCSON, Ariz. - An autopsy shows that an 8-month-old girl who died under suspicious circumstances in January suffered multiple injuries.
[.....]
According to the autopsy , the girl suffered abrasions, contusions, lacerations and puncture wounds. Hematomas, absence of soft tissues and hemorrhages were also present.

The manner of death has yet to be determined.

Henson is in Pima County Jail on a $25,000 bond. Her next court date is a case management conference Friday (3/22)
 
The autopsy results are linked in this article. WARNING it is a bad one:-(

Autopsy: Multiple injuries caused baby’s death

Yikes - bad isn't the word. It seems clear to me based on the examination of the dog's stomach contents that the dog was involved.

How drunk was mom that she failed to notice a dog doing - well what is described in the autopsy report? Just horrible. Poor lil punkin.

According to the report, Henson appeared intoxicated and officials smelled an odor of intoxicants when they arrived at the scene near Pantano and Irvington roads. Henson was reportedly crying hysterically and was unable to open a screen door to let authorities inside.

Still not in system....
 
Would you believe there is still nothing in the Pima County court site with her name on it....

Anyone find anything "new" stuff on this case?
 
How drunk do you have to be to not notice a dog eating your baby's face?!? And was the dog starved? A dog might attack a crying infant, but to actually consume the body? Heartbreaking
