Remains Of Missing 2-Year-Old Girl Discovered In Dresser Drawer

A 2-year-old girl had been missing since January from Cromwell, Oklahoma. Now, her remains have potentially been found in Indiana. Her birth father had reported her missing.

Oaklee Mae Snow’s remains were discovered in a dresser drawer in an abandoned residence in Morgantown, authorities say.

Now, the child’s mother 22-year-old Madison Marshall, and her boyfriend, Roan Waters are facing several charges in relation to her death.

Marshall admitted to authorities that the child was abused at the hands of Waters before she died. This included “choking the girl out,” for holding a fork the wrong way or beating her for crying because of a wet diaper.

On the day that Oaklee passed, Marshall told investigators that Waters had been screaming at the child to bounce on a bouncy ball before she became unresponsive while outside.

When Waters rushed the girl in, the mother wanted to take her to the hospital, but Waters feared he would be jailed. He then attempted to revive her by throwing water on the 2-year-old, but that was unsuccessful. Thus, he wrapped her in a blanket, put flowers on top, and drove to an abandoned home where the pair left the child’s body.

Documents note that Marshall was crying when she took officers to the home where Oaklee’s remains were. Although the remains were extremely decomposed, authorities were able to tell that it was a blonde-haired girl.

The child’s father has noted that an autopsy took place before the girl’s body was sent back to Oklahoma for funeral services.
