UPDATE: Auburn officials speak on parents charged with murder, child abuse
The mother, Kelly West Watford, faces a felony murder charge, and the child’s father, Mark Edward Watford, faces one count of aggravated child abuse. The mother is being held in the Lee County Detention Center without bond, while the father has a $30,000 bond.
“The child was subsequently transported via ambulance to East Alabama Health Medical Center, and additional life-saving measures were continued until the child was pronounced deceased at the hospital,” said Auburn Police Assistant Chief Mike Harris. “While we don’t have the official results of the child’s autopsy, preliminary information indicates that there was evidence of drowning and evidence of significant malnourishment of the child.”
