A Manderson, Wyoming, grandfather and mother have been charged after the suspicious death of an infant in a case where investigators say a camper where the child lived was filthy, overheated, had no running water, and was littered with human waste, animal feces, and meth. The investigation began just after 10 a.m. Monday, when agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation were notified of the suspicious, unattended death of an infant.
The baby’s mother, 22-year-old Destynie Study, told investigators she fed and changed the infant around 1:30 a.m. before putting the baby back to sleep in a crib inside the family’s camper in Manderson. She woke around 9:45 a.m. and found the infant unresponsive, grabbed the child, climbed into her father’s vehicle, and started driving toward Three Rivers Hospital in Basin, calling 911 along the way. The affidavit says the baby lived in the camper with the mother, her father Travis Study, and another child just over a year old.
