Day Care Worker Guilty of Murder ...
Former day care worker Leah Walden pleaded guilty to the murder of 8-month-old Reese Annette Bowman on Tuesday. She was sentenced to life in prison, but everything beyond 70 years was suspended, meaning she won’t get out until she’s in her 90s if she serves the full sentence.
Walden had told a co-worker, “Girl, I’m frustrated … I’m sick of this little b---. I hate this little b--- … She makes me want to punch her in the face.”
Walden returned from lunch to Rocket Tiers Learning Center just east of downtown Baltimore and found baby Reese would not sleep. She slapped the girl in the crib. She pinned the infant down with one arm; Reese kicked her legs. Walden snatched her from the crib. She pushed her back down. Then she piled blankets over the child’s face.
Reese, who was 8 months and 19 days old, suffocated to death May 23, 2017. Surveillance cameras inside the day care center captured the crime.
