Authorities alleged that Esquivel tried to cover up the crime and also believe that after leaving work at the spa with her dying child in the car, she stopped at McDonald's and ordered food before going to the hospital.
The boy was left in a vehicle on a 95-degree day for as long as three hours, according to the affidavit, and he was already dead when his mother took him to a Plano hospital.

Esquivel initially told officers she had been driving the child around in a hot vehicle because the air conditioning was not working. She denied going to work that day and claimed she had been with her son all day.
