Babysitter Slams a 10-Month-Old Against a Wall—Has No Idea Doctors Already Know What Happened

On June 5, 2023, 10-month-old **Sean “SJ” Mitchell** became unresponsive while in the care of 22-year-old **Adrian Nichole Vetter** at an in-home daycare in Wichita Falls, Texas. Vetter told emergency responders that SJ appeared to have suffered a seizure. But after he was rushed to the hospital, doctors discovered devastating injuries that raised immediate questions about what had happened while he was in her care. This episode of **Evidence Lab Interrogation** examines the police interrogation of Adrian Vetter and the investigation into the injuries that ultimately led to SJ Mitchell’s death. SJ was initially taken to United Regional in Wichita Falls before being flown to Cook Children’s in Fort Worth. Doctors found bleeding on both sides of his brain, and investigators began scrutinizing Vetter’s account of the events leading up to the emergency. That same night, Wichita Falls detectives sat Vetter down for an interview. As detectives reconstruct the timeline, they challenge her explanations against the medical findings and repeatedly return to the crucial question: **What happened to SJ before he became unresponsive?** The interview provides a revealing look at how investigators establish a timeline, identify inconsistencies, introduce medical evidence, test alternative explanations, and gradually increase pressure when a suspect’s account does not appear to explain the evidence. SJ never recovered. After doctors determined there was no brain activity, he was taken home to Crowell, Texas, where he died in hospice care on **June 23, 2023**, 18 days after he was injured. Vetter had been arrested on June 9 and initially charged with injury to a child. Following SJ’s death, that charge was dismissed and prosecutors pursued a murder case. On **April 15, 2024**, Adrian Vetter pleaded guilty to murder in the 78th District Court in Wichita Falls. Judge Meredith Kennedy sentenced her to **50 years in prison**, with 321 days credited for time already served. Under the terms applicable to her sentence, she will not become eligible for parole consideration until she has served 25 years.
