“My office responded and we believed it was SIDS,” Lemhi County Sheriff Lynn Bowerman told East Idaho News. “An autopsy was performed and it was (discovered that) a lethal dose of meth (was) in the child’s stomach.”
The fatal meth dose was likely administered three to four hours before the child died, toxicologists said.
Meanwhile, a witness told police Elam was in possession of meth on the night before the child died.
Officials also found that Elam was along with the baby between 9 a.m. and noon on the day she died, and she “was the only person that could have given (the child) a lethal dose of methamphetamine.”
