SURRY COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — New details are emerging in the death of 4-year-old Skyler Wilson.

According to warrants, Joseph Wilson, who is charged along with his wife Jodi in the death of their adopted child Skyler Wilson, got a text from his wife that there was a “problem” with “swaddling” Skyler on Jan. 5. She also sent a picture of Skyler, wrapped in a sheet or a blanket face-down on the Wilsons’ living room floor with duct tape attaching him to the floor.

Skyler Wilson died on Jan. 9.

An inquest into the death of a baby murdered by his prospective adoptive mother will look at how his placement came about, a coroner has said.

Thirteen-month-old Leiland-James Corkill was killed by Laura Castle in Barrow, Cumbria, in January 2021.

Castle, 39, was convicted of murder and is serving at least 18 years in prison.

At a pre-inquest review, Cumbria assistant coroner Dr Nicholas Shaw said he would look at how Leiland-James's care was handled by local authorities.

Despite Castle's conviction, Dr Shaw said there was "sufficient reason" to hold an inquest to "inquire into events leading up to [the baby's] death" that were not covered by the court case.

A 27-year-old former foster mother in New York may spend more than two decades in prison for lying under oath about the abuse her husband inflicted upon the children in their care, ultimately ending with him beating their 4-year-old son to death.

Visiting Schenectady County Court Judge Chad Brown on Friday ordered Latrisha Greene to serve the maximum sentence of 9 1/3 to 28 years in prison for intentionally misleading authorities investigating the brutal 2020 death of young Charlie Garay.

Greene’s husband, former ordained minister Dequan Greene, was convicted by a jury in December 2022 on one count of second-degree murder in Charlie’s slaying. He was sentenced to a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.

Before the sentencing, a jury found Greene guilty of four felony counts of perjury and two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child over testimony provided to authorities in August 2022, The Daily Gazette reported.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The adoptive parents convicted in the starving death of a 15-year-old boy in Washington state have been sentenced to decades in prison.

Judge Suzan Clark last week sentenced Felicia L. Adams to 35 years in prison and Jesse C. Franks to 30 years in the 2020 death of Karreon Franks. The couple also had been convicted on charges of criminal mistreatment of Karreon’s brothers, The Columbian newspaper reported.

Attorneys for Adams and Franks said they planned to appeal the convictions and sentences.

Clark called what happened to Karreon “one of the saddest things I have seen in 37 years.” She said she had never before returned to her chambers after a trial and “had all of the jurors in tears because of what they had been through.” An alternate juror complained of being unable to sleep.

Adams, 54, and Franks, 58, were convicted by a jury in Clark County Superior Court in October.

ROCKVILLE, Md. — Brian O’Callaghan, the former Marine and National Security Agency division chief, who pleaded guilty to killing his 3-year-old adopted son, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge.

O’Callaghan, of Damascus, Maryland, pleaded guilty last November to child abuse resulting in death and faced up to 40 years in prison. On Tuesday, Judge John Debelius handed down a 20-year sentence but suspended eight years from O’Callaghan’s sentence upfront. He will also get credit for time served — about 2 and 1/2 years.

Maye, who was Darnell’s legal guardian, is charged with aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence in his death.

However, Parsons will remain incarcerated. In 2019, she was sentenced to life in prison without parole on a state charge when she pleaded guilty to killing Erica.

According to her husband, Sandy, he and his wife buried their adopted daughter’s body in a shallow grave in Chesterfield County, S.C., in December 2011.

More than a year and a half went by before Erica was reported missing by her adoptive brother in 2013.
