that there's drugs in your home and your 2-year-old who should have been watched and parented got into it. And as a result, she died and as that result, you're here. >> This is Bethany Miller Williams, a 21-year-old woman who clearly didn't value a child as much as she valued a high. Just a few days ago, her 2-year-old daughter died after consuming fentinel she kept in her closet. A closet she secured better than she ever secured her child. I'm saying I have multiple videos saying that proof of me and her being awake and not in my room. You know what I mean? Like I was in my room a lot that day, but I wasn't in there full time. >> But what she didn't know was that detectives had piles of evidence against her that showed how her daughter died. >> Does he have to be in here? Can I just talk to you? >> Who are you talking to? >> Miss Do I have to be in here? I'm sorry. Am I hurting your feelings? On July 30th, 2024, the Cincinnati Police Department received a 911 call from a female reporting an unconscious baby. >> Cincinnati 911. What is the address? >> I need a I need a cop here. It's 3119 Brackenwood Lane, apartment one. >> Okay, give me that address one more time for verification. >> 3119 Brackenwood Lane, Apartment One. My My niece is not breathing. >> She's two years old. >> Okay. Your niece is not breathing. Is that correct? No, she's not breathing at all. Her lips are purple. >> That's just in line. >> CPR on her and everything. >> Okay. Just know that I'm already getting in. Okay. >> All right, man. We We have We have help coming. We have help coming. Okay. >> Stay on the line with me. Okay. >> The caller identified the baby as her 2-year-old niece, Ala Bradley. To keep the baby alive, the dispatcher tried to instruct the caller on how to perform CPR on the child before paramedics arrived. >> Does he know how to do CPR or do you have somebody on the line doing CPR with you? >> Do you know? >> Because I can I can give you instruction. >> Okay. >> Listen carefully. Lay them flat on their back on the floor. Remove anything from under their head and kneel next to them and look in look in the mouth for food or vomit. Is there anything in the mouth? >> Is there anything in her mouth? >> She's purple. Her lips are purple. >> Okay. Is there anything in her mouth? >> No, I don't see anything in her mouth. >> So, this is what we're going to do. Now, place your hand on their forehead, your other hand under her neck, then tilt her head back. Put your ear next to her mouth. >> Despite following the dispatcher's instructions, when paramedics arrived, they found the baby not breathing. After several life-saving measures were attempted without success, the baby was transported to the hospital where she was declared dead. As detectives arrived at the multif family apartment, they began interviewing everyone who had been in the house at the time of the child's death. But several inconsistencies began to emerge and what they would eventually uncover after several days would reveal the disturbing final hours before the baby died. The baby's mother, Bethany Miller Williams, known as Angel, told detectives that all she could remember was that the baby had slept with her in the master bedroom on a queen-sized bed. [music] They had gone to sleep around 8:00 p.m. and she woke up around 11 p.m. to find her baby lying face down on the mattress. Detectives also spoke with other family members, but doubts arose about the truthfulness of their statements. But what they didn't yet know was that the person responsible for the child's death had been with them the entire time. In the days that followed, family members grew increasingly distressed over the baby's death. That was when one of the women came forward to share what she had seen. According to her, she had spent 2 to four days at Bethy's apartment. On the day the baby died, she and Bethany had spent most of the day in the bedroom. After firefighters carried the baby out of the apartment, and before officers arrived, she saw Bethany grabbed fentinel from underneath her dresser and throw it into the toilet. The woman also recounted how Bethany told her that she had caught the baby playing with her fentinel around 4 or 5:00 p.m. that day, but Bethany never imagined it could kill her. With this discovery, detectives requested a toxicology test on the child. While awaiting the results, they made another discovery. A Facebook conversation between Bethany, who went by Angelia, online, and one of her close friends revealed further details about what had happened to the baby. In the chat, the friend asked Bethany whether anyone in the house had said the baby got hold of fentinel. Bethany replied that of course they knew fentinil was in the house and that although she hadn't smoked the blunt with them, she was aware they had broken it apart. From the conversation, it was clear Bethany knew what had happened to her baby. When the toxicology report came back, it confirmed fentanyl in the baby's system. The baby's death was eventually ruled a homicide. Following this, Bethany was arrested and brought in for questioning. How soon can I speak to a lawyer? So, if you want a lawyer to talk to to if you want a lawyer with you when you talk to us, tell us that you want a lawyer. I can't get a lawyer here for you right now. When you go to court for arraignment, you'll get an attorney appointed. >> When do you think that'll be? >> Maybe tomorrow. Um, and that's an adult decision you have to make yourself. If you want to tell us what happened >> and you feel comfortable doing that, then I mean I was going to tell you what happened cuz this is the same thing I was going to tell a lawyer. So that's why I said I want a lawyer, but it don't matter if they're here now because you know what I mean? It's going to be the same story. So >> you'll get a lawyer for sure. Um, but I just want to I got to be really careful like if you're saying that you want a lawyer, but you'll talk to us. Um, it needs to be really clear if you want one with you right now or if you want to talk to us right now without a lawyer. You have to be very >> I can talk to you right now without a lawyer. >> Okay. All right. But yeah, I'll still get because I just understand that I won't get one right now. So, you know what I mean? >> Yes. But the judge will have one for you when you go to court. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Um, so we're here to talk about Ala and um, I know you told us some things the night that we were at your house. Um, and you didn't tell us all the things that happened. We know that. Um, we got the report from the coroner's office. So, we know how she died. Do you know how she died? >> Was it was it drugs? >> It was drugs. >> What was it? >> No. I figured. Tell me why you figured. >> Because I was asleep and my daughter was awake when I was awake, but two two other people in my house used Fitna. You know what I mean? And they were all in the living room and away from me and I I still long story short, I still had my [ __ ] when you guys left. So my daughter didn't get in my [ __ ] You know what I mean? Real [ __ ] I mean somebody else's [ __ ] she got into. Bethany is beginning to shift blame to others living in the house. Telling detectives that the fentinil her daughter ingested wasn't hers. Of course, it wasn't yours because responsible parents totally keep a stockpile of deadly drugs lying around for their toddlers to find like some twisted Easter egg hunt. But what she failed to grasp was that detectives had already gathered all the evidence they needed and everything pointed to her. >> I have multiple people that can vouch for me on that. Well, we've talked to everybody that was in the house and um their stories are all consistent with each other and that she was in the bedroom with you the whole day. >> But that's not what people are telling me. And I have video proof of her me and my daughter both being awake and outside my room. >> Yeah. She came out there out of the room for a few minutes with you and then you went back into your room. I'm saying I have multiple videos saying that proof of me and her being awake and not in my room. You know what I mean? Like I was in my room a lot that day, but I wasn't in there full time and I was asleep. You know what I mean? >> Like I have a lot I I can I was just asking the police officer if you guys have a polygraph test because I I want to take one because I'm not lying. I was my daughter was awake when I was awake and I went to sleep and my daughter was not alive when I woke up. >> Like something happened when I was asleep and that's not fair that I'm in trouble for that. You know what I mean? >> Well, she's your child. >> I do get that. >> You have drugs in your home that she was able to access. >> I know, but they were not mine that she got into. >> I don't know how or why you can say that. >> Because I still had my >> Where do you keep it? I keep it up in the closet up in top shelf >> always. You can ask everybody. I promise I can take a polygraph test. That's why I said, "Do you have a polygraph test?" >> Why does it matter whose drugs you got into? Why do Why do you think that matters? >> Because I want the person who [ __ ] let it stay out. I want them to be in jail, too. >> Bethany is demanding a polygraph test, but passing one wouldn't prove her innocence. While a past polygraph can sometimes persuade investigators or prosecutors to drop charges, polygraphs are not scientifically reliable proof of innocence or guilt. Bethany seemed to understand this. But what she didn't yet realize was that her own comments she was about to make concerning drugs in the house would ultimately be her undoing, which for someone like her was always a matter of when. Assuming she's capable of realizing anything at all. >> That would be you, right? >> No, cuz I didn't leave mine out. She's your child and it's your house. >> I mean, the fact that you allow drugs in your home for your personal use is one thing. Wrong. And then the fact that you let other people come in your home around your child to use drugs is another thing, but still wrong. I don't understand where you're dividing this line like I'm okay because the people I allowed to come in and use fentanyl caused this, not me. >> I didn't know at first and I know I [ __ ] up. We knew you [ __ ] up that night and you didn't even tell us >> because I didn't know they had drugs at first. >> You know you had drugs. >> You know you have drugs. >> But I didn't have it out and my daughter didn't get into my drugs. >> You know what I mean? So why would I? >> So when we walk in, there's a 2-year-old healthy 2-year-old dead. >> I understand that. But why would I have to tell you? >> It would be something that you realize something is wrong here as well. >> I do get that. But >> you would have got it that night >> if my daughter got into my drive >> and we had a conversation. Remember when we were sitting there and you were sitting on the bed and I said 2-year-olds just don't die. >> Yeah, they don't. >> And it's could possibly be drugrelated and you and you swore up and down that they had >> because it wasn't cuz I it knew what drugs >> in very clear terms if there were drugs in your home >> that I didn't know about. I didn't know about. I said no. Not that I know about. >> Well, you just said you had two people in your home that was using drugs. I know about including yours. The fact that you guys you should have said yes, I use fentanyl and I have fentanyl in my home that other people in my home use fentanyl. That would have been >> I should have done that and I should have just gave told you guys up front where my [ __ ] was so you knew it wasn't mine and I know I should have gotten in trouble. But >> what did you do with yours? >> I [ __ ] they they did something with it. Like as soon as I called for them and told them that [ __ ] that she was passed away and that call 911, they was like, "Where's your [ __ ] Where's your shit?" And I was like, "My shit's put up." They were like, "Give it to me." >> Yes. That's why I was like, "I still have my shit." Like, my [ __ ] was up. >> How How many months has it been? >> It's been since July. End of July. July. >> You've had this whole time. And this is the story you came up with. >> No. >> Did you spend like a lot more time on this? I what do you mean a story? This is the truth. Like what? I'm not I'll just talk then cuz this stuff is making me upset low key. >> This whole situation should have made you upset. >> It is making me It is upset talking to us. It's just feel like you guys aren't understanding. Well, we're trying to understand, but there's there's a point in time where you have to realize that you're and I know you realize that your daughter died. I I know that. But and that that is the time when you tell the truth. And right now is the time when you tell the truth. You can't um and and it's a natural reaction and feeling to want to kind of minimize your own involvement. And I know that you don't want to think about the fact that she overdosed on fentanyl and that is your drug of choice and there was fentanyl in your home. But that is your responsibility. She's your child. It's your home. You have a duty to make sure that she has a safe place to live and exist and be a child. Do you understand that? And I'm not trying to make you feel bad. I'm trying to make you understand the situation and what your um obligations are as a parent. >> Losing a child is traumatic under any circumstances, but when it results from negligence, it carries [music] severe consequences. Keeping fentinel within reach of her 2-year-old showed a shocking level of carelessness. When the baby's father learned of his daughter's death, a heated argument broke out between him and Bethany on Facebook. He told her she was a terrible mother, that someone in her house had hurt his baby, and that everyone on Facebook would know the truth once the toxicology report came back. Bethany told him to get lost, then added that he'd had countless chances to be a father and never took them, that he was an only child himself and had never even met his daughter. These messages reveal the environment the baby was born into, which was never really a home at all. Apparently, having an absent father who doesn't care and a mother struggling with addiction is a home with disaster. Despite this, detectives wanted one thing from Bethany, which is the truth. >> So, we've, you know, like I said, we talked to everybody that was in the house, and what you're telling us about where your drugs were does not coincide with what they have independently told us. >> Yeah, I know what was going on. I just ignored them all. everyone could tell me they're breaking reports on you. They're going to the police station. They're writing up stuff and my dad just told me don't believe it cuz it's all lies and that the truth will come out. And that's what I did. And I just waited and this is what happened. Well, the truth did come out. We were We knew what happened to her. We were just waiting for the toxicology report. Do you know what that is? >> The autopsy. Well, we were waiting for that, but we were waiting for um her drug test. Okay, we figured and we're almost sure that it was a fentanyl overdose, but we needed to wait for the lab to give us the official report. And that is how she died. And that is your responsibility. >> What time did she pass away? >> I can't tell you that. >> Why? >> Cuz I don't know, honey. I don't know. >> Say I want to say it to my daughter. No, cuz I don't know. >> What time do you think she got into it? >> I don't know because my daughter was when I woke up at 5:00. I think it was about 5:00. >> She was up and running around in my room like, you know what I mean? And I saw that she broke my blown up in 2000 pieces. So I, you know, I woke her little butt and I put her into bed with me and we she was sitting up watching TV and I fell asleep watching TV. And then I woke up a couple hours later around the nine o'clock area again where Leanne came into my room. And everyone's even saying it's weird that she went into my room, but she went into my room. We were talking for a couple minutes and that's when she lifted up the blanket on Lei and checked on her. And I didn't feel the need to check on her because she checked on her. You know, >> I think she was probably already deceased at that point. >> And and that's what we all put that together. So I I laid back down, woke up again at at like 11:00. That's when I found out she passed away. and I called you guys and so we all thought like when I moved her over she was a little stiff so we all this is what we were thinking when you said you hadn't put time to whatever I don't remember what you say but you didn't put time to think of something no over time I was trying to think of everything you know what I mean this is what I thought of over time but Rick Mortis already kicked in which means she was already passed away at 9:00 >> when she came in and said she checked on so why would she that's weird why would she lie Like, >> let me ask you about your blunt. Is it a blunt that you rolled? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Um, had you smoked that weed before? >> I don't know. I don't I had I just bought I just bought that weed. I don't know. >> Cuz I'm asking because there could have been fentanyl in your weed. >> Um I I don't do I don't know. I didn't I didn't like that specific blunt up, but I can't remember if it's the same weed I always smoke, but I bought from somebody new. fentanyl in that weed. >> I don't I don't think so though. I really don't. >> Why? >> Cuz I've never had weed with fentanyl in it before. >> It's very common. >> Like No, I don't think so. Cuz that means that means I would have smoked it. Like I don't know. I don't think there was fentanyl in the weed. I really, >> but if you use Listen, if you use fentanyl and there was fentanyl in the weed, it's not going to affect you the same as >> a baby. >> I really don't think there were I I think I know I think I know what happened, but >> I don't know how to say a lot, but I think happened because then you guys not don't believe it. I don't think but I a lot of people think that this happened. A lot of people did. My dad, my aunt, my baby daddy, my friends, everybody that was there that night. [snorts] Like I think that She got into some [ __ ] and they freaked out and put her in bed with me. That's what I think happened and everybody else does too. >> During the investigation, detectives also learned that Bethany had told friends that when she found Alila had gotten into the fentinel, she wiped her down with alcohol, bathed her, and put her to bed. As if bathing a 2-year-old child could fix the poison inside her body. It was clear Bethany knew her baby had ingested fentanyl. Yet, she never sought help. Instead, she let her fall asleep and die in her sleep. >> So, I heard a story that um that you saw her get into it. >> You heard a story that what I >> that you saw Ala get into your fentanyl. >> Yeah. No, that's >> And that you gave her a bath and put her to bed. >> What? No, I'll take a poly on that, too. No, I How could she get into my stuff if I still had it? I I had all of my stuff. My stuff was up in the closet up. >> Was there any under your dresser? >> No, ma'am. No, not at all. I don't put nothing under my dresser because she obviously can get it. >> I put it on the top shelf in my bedroom. Like you I [snorts] have a top shelf with a tablet on it and it stays up in the top shelf. >> You keep it on the tablet? >> Yes, ma'am. On the top shelf. Like it's a broken tablet. >> Is it powder? Is it pills? What is it? It's powder, but it like comes in like a pill sometimes. But Leanne's aunt, the Betty girl, she was using Fentanel, but I didn't see her use it a lot, you know what I mean? But she was using it all weekend. That was the first time she was using it. So, you know what I mean? And my friend Mario, he wasn't there that night, even though she passed away. But he uses, too. And I don't know, maybe he would have left something. Maybe I don't know a straw or it could be a straw. It could be a piece of paper that it came in before. It could be >> I think she had a fair amount. >> Oh, really? >> I think so. >> I didn't know. I was I I I'm trying to I was trying to think of everything. Maybe she found a straw, a piece of paper that had some in it before and she got the residue on her or maybe she picked something like a bag that maybe it had in there before like cuz sometimes it comes in a bag. Maybe she picked up that's the only two things, a straw and a piece of paper that that it may have had something on it. That's the only thing I kept thinking of. Maybe she found something with residue on it. But you said if it's a fair amount, then yeah, I mean I think I'm not I don't know what like I don't know what the numbers are like when you know when you have it in your system what they look like. But I mean >> the bottom line is it should be all zeros. She should not have that in her body at all. >> Yeah. No, I think I think what I told you is what happened. There's no way. There's no way my baby's alive when I'm alive when I'm awake. But but pass away when I wake up. >> Were you using that day? >> No. I mean, yeah, but I use every day just because my my medical conditions and but I didn't use No, I don't never use around my daughter either. Like my daughter's never even been around me when I've ever brought it out. Like I always close the door and make her go out there. You know what I mean? And lock my door. >> But you're high when she's there. >> I don't get high. I don't nod out. Like I just get well. Like I just get well. I don't No, I don't get >> that means you just get well. >> Basically, I only do enough to make me not be in pain and I go about my day. I don't do enough to where I fall asleep. You know what I mean? Like I don't do that. I just get well. >> That's why I'm saying there's no way I couldn't sleep all day. I have multiple people that have that are saying that I was not sleep all day and that they seen the baby out in the living room running back and forth. >> Yeah. And like everybody told us that she was out there for a little bit and that she went back in the room, but that you and her were in the bedroom most of the day. >> And well, their stories are changing up now, but no, she was in and out the room all day. She's two that she she gets in and out of the bed when she wants, she goes in and out of the room when she wants. Like I have multiple people that can vouch on that as well. Like they've seen her. Like when I'm asleep or if I nap or something, she'll go in and out the room, go around with other people. Like that was what we did. Like if we napped when her retired, we would nap and we would watch each other's kids. But her kid just wasn't there that night. She made sure to find a babysitter that day, which I think is weird as well, too. She who? >> Lean. >> She's pregnant. >> Yeah, I know. She's pregnant. >> She's doing fentanyl when she's pregnant. >> No, [clears throat] she didn't. She don't do it now. Oh, no. I'm saying like I didn't say that. No, I'm saying Leanne, she's done fentanyl before when she lived with me, but she just got pregnant. Like, so she stopped. She's visibly pregnant. >> No, she's Well, now maybe now now, but back then when my daughter passed away, no, she was only like 3 4 weeks. She looked pregnant. >> Yeah, she's just a really big girl. Like everyone thought she was pregnant. She just she's got a belly. And she was only like three or four weeks, not even back then. So, she was using fitnol, too. But she just stopped. And that's why I was like, of course they're going to leave. Fentanyl's out your system in 2 days. Like, they're not going to be able to be drug tested to see if it's in their system. So, I don't know. I need to drink water. I don't know what to do. >> I'll get some water. >> Well, I was actually hoping I'd see you when I came down here. I thought I was just going to go talk to a police officer, but >> Well, you are. You're talking. Well, >> I know you guys are police officers, but I [ __ ] can do now. I just wish they would get in trouble. If I'm getting in trouble for this, I wish they would I wish the [ __ ] who actually did something was in trouble. >> Sweetie, she is your child. >> I know your home and I get that. >> Okay, it's your responsibility than just that. >> She was This is your chance to tell it. But you know I we have done our work and we believe that you got into fentanyl in your bedroom. >> That's not true. >> But as a parent, you're not supposed to nap all day when your kids awake. >> I wasn't nap all day. And even if I was napping all day, that's Moms get tired. You know what I mean? >> Sure they do. But >> I didn't nap. >> You got to be up when your baby's up. >> Especially if there's drugs in your home. Especially >> I understand that >> she she got into your blunt and ripped it up. >> Yeah. >> And then you spanked her. Like so she clearly has access to your drugs if she was able to get your blunt and tear it up. >> My blunt was on the side of my bed. Like she never really [ __ ] with my weed. And weed isn't really an issue. >> It is for a 2-year-old. >> I know. You're the person that has to accept responsibility for this. >> I have. >> You haven't. Because you're trying to put blame on other people. >> She was your responsibility. >> Say, "I'm sorry for doing it. I'm sorry for lying." >> No. >> I'm sorry that my daughter passed away. >> Like, I am sorry that your daughter died. You know what I mean? I don't think this is something that you ever wanted to happen and it's horrible and I am sorry that it happened. [snorts] She certainly deserved better. She did. [snorts] [laughter] I'm sorry. [snorts] There you are. [snorts] But you know, we're at the point now where there's consequences. [snorts] And this is the consequence. [snorts] And there's no way that I'm going to be able to get out. Like, I can't get bonded out and figure it out. >> Well, a judge sets your bond. That's not us. But what is there to figure out? [clears throat] >> You said it's not true. >> H >> You said what I said isn't true. So, >> well, you didn't tell us the truth that night. And I don't know that you're because she didn't get into fentanyl in my room. I'm telling you, >> the story I heard basically just makes you feel better about the fact that your 2-year-old's dead. I don't see any part of this where you've accepted any responsibility >> or any of it. This is so and so had drugs in my house, which wasn't a shock. >> Throughout the interrogation, Bethany refused to take responsibility for what had happened to her baby, repeatedly trying to shift blame to others in the house. What detectives did [music] next would make the weight of her actions unmistakably clear. >> It's solely, this all lies on your shoulders. It doesn't matter what you had going on in your house. You were in control of that home. You should have been responsible enough to say, "Hey, you got to go." But you weren't because you were doing the exact same thing. It doesn't make a difference whose drugs it was. It's the fact that there was drugs in your home and your 2-year-old who should have been watched and parented got into it and as a result, she died and as that result, you're here. And you know, you can say this, [snorts] it was somebody else's drugs. If that makes you feel better, it doesn't change anything. But if that makes you feel better, then that's fine. I don't need you to tell me the truth. >> Saying it because it doesn't feel better. >> You don't need to tell me the truth. trouble. >> It doesn't make a difference. >> I want them to be in jail as well if I'm going being in jail. And I understand that this is my fault because I had them around, but I'm saying this because I want something to happen to them as well. >> And if we maybe could address that that night >> if we had none, [snorts] >> but you lied and covered it up. So that's the result. >> So did they. They don't get >> I don't even know who they are. >> The other people in the house, they all lied as well. >> I don't >> Does he have to be in here? Can I just talk to you? >> Who are you talking to? >> What do I have to be in here? I'm sorry. Am I hurting your feelings? >> You can talk to me. >> What do you want to tell me? I've already told you everything. You bet. You're not. It don't matter. [snorts] >> Well, you asked if you could talk to me and not him. I'm telling you that you can. >> I mean, is he allowed to leave the room? >> No, he's going to stay in here. [snorts] >> Bethy's request to have the male detective leave the room revealed her attempt to manipulate the situation, apparently believing the female detective would go easier on her. What she got instead would make clear that her fate was already sealed. Something she should have realized before she opened her mouth. >> Okay, it's just us. He's just being a dick about it. You know what I mean? That's not cool. Like, we have different styles of talking to people sometimes and like my feelings are so hurt because my daughter's passed away and it's not that I'm trying to point fingers and it's not that I'm trying to make it not be my fault. It's just I wish more would be done. You know what I mean? [snorts] I don't know what the [ __ ] you doing. It's not fair. I wish a lawyer would be here. [laughter] >> Okay. Well, if you want a lawyer here, then I just I don't >> Then we won't talk about it anymore. But you are pointing fingers. >> I just wish me telling you what was going on that night would get something done because it's not. It's just still going to be all on me. So, it's it to me it just don't I don't understand why I have to talk about it again. if you guys already made your decision on what you're going to do. >> The time [snorts] to tell us what was going on in your house was that night. >> I know >> we we don't have anything um to implicate the other people that were there. >> What does that mean? >> We don't have anything um that says it was somebody else's drugs.

You have um you're charged with involuntary manslaughter and felony endangering children. So, you'll go to arraignment [snorts] probably tomorrow morning. >> Do you know what my bond is? >> No, >> they they don't have one yet. >> Right. But you have a felony of the first degree, which is the highest felony, and a felony of the third degree. >> Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, Bethany continued to deny responsibility.
