‘I feel no guilt for this’: Parents guilty in toddler's death. 18-month-old Ruby Marie Murray was left to slowly starve and dehydrate in her own crib while her parents treated her like an inconvenient object. She weighed about 17 pounds when she died on March 19, 2025. Seventeen. Pounds. At a year and a half old. Mitchell Chesnut Murray, 31, and Carrie Marie Murray, 32 (a registered nurse, by the way), subjected their daughter to a documented, severe pattern of neglect. Baby monitor and home surveillance footage showed that in her final four days, Ruby was only out of that crib for a little over six hours total. Human interaction with her added up to just 49 minutes and 15 seconds. On March 18th, the day before she died, the entire family’s contact with her lasted 49 seconds. Her diaper wasn’t even changed. She was fed almost nothing but toasted frozen waffles in the crib. A space heater blasted heat right next to her. The crib was filthy with old food. Loud music played constantly. She couldn’t tell day from night. Her mother hadn’t bothered checking the baby monitor app for months and had muted the notifications. When Carrie Murray finally called 911, she told the dispatcher her daughter was “beyond help” and declined lifesaving efforts. Later she told investigators, “I feel no guilt over this” and “It was her time, I guess.” Sentencing is set for September 11th.
