Mom ‘killed daughter, 7, after faking girl’s terminal illness to get thousands in donations for bucket list’
A "MONSTER" mom was accused of killing her daughter after faking the young girl’s terminal illness to obtain thousands in donations for her final-wishes bucket list.
Kelly Turner pleaded not guilty in court on Wednesday to the 2017 death of her seven-year-old daughter Olivia Gant, CBS4 reported.
The indictment ultimately states that Turner faked her daughter's sickness.
Investigators said Turner's daughter was admitted into Children’s Hospital Colorado in the month leading up to her death.
Gant died in August 2017 under hospice care.
Her death certificate revealed she died from chronic intestinal failure, seizure disorder, and autism.
Turner was indicted on murder in 2019 after doctors questioned the daughter's "medical problems" in addition to Gant's illness.
Gant's body was later dug up from her grave - leading to a second autopsy which found her death to be undetermined.
Meanwhile, Turner reportedly mentioned Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) to investigators, however, she denied she had the mental health illness.
