A babysitter is facing a first-degree murder charge after Wisconsin officials said a 2-month-old child died under her care, alleging that she tried to hide the boy’s death by returning him to his mother wrapped in a snowsuit and strapped into a car seat with a hat covering his eyes.

Marissa Tietsort, the sitter, pretended the child was alive during a trip of a McDonald’s in Wausau and continued with the ruse as she gave the boy back to his mother in October 2018, reported the Wausau Daily Herald, which cited court documents.
