Dent County mother pleads guilty to charge in starvation death of 10-year-old daughter

Feb. 9, 2022

ALEM, Mo. (KY3) - A Dent County woman, accused of starving her adopted daughter to death, pleaded guilty in the case.

Susan Abney pleaded guilty to a charge of abuse or neglect of a child in the death of 10-year-old Josie Ann Abney in 2020. In the plea deal, the state dropped a second-degree murder charge.



I had the plea change hearing on 2/15/22 but looks like it was earlier.

@Jewels53 - is 2/15 the sentencing date now? Or some other date? TIA! :)

Nice site update for CaseNet, some individual pages link! Susan Abney's sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for Tuesday, May 17, 2022 in Crawford County.

https://www.courts.mo.gov/cnet/name...ame=susan&middleName=&caseType=All&yearFiled=

You'll need to click the blue link on the case in Crawford County as there was Change of Venue from Dent County.

If you are directing this to me - I can not access that link over here (Europe) that is why I have Jewels as my "go to person" for this case! But thanks anyway! :)

@Jewels53 - thank you for the info on Randall.
