A 1-year-old baby died from dehydration and was "found with very little evidence of food in the stomach" after their mother neglected them for nearly two days because she allegedly "had a migraine."
Alyssa Wehmeyer of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, found her deceased baby on Feb. 28. When she was questioned by police, the 21-year-old mother revealed she last fed her baby on Feb. 26, about 36 hours before the child died, according to a probable cause affidavit.
