On May 23, 2017, Reese Annette Bowman was smothered to death by a daycare worker. Frustrated that Reese wouldn't go to sleep, Leah Walden slapped the 8-month-old, tossed her around, and pinned her in her crib. Leah told a coworker, "I'm sick of this little bitch. I hate this little bitch... She makes me want to punch her in the face." Ultimately, Leah killed the infant by piling so many blankets on her that she couldn't breathe.
