Baby girl dies after being placed in a washing machine

A mother suspected of being addicted to crystal meth put her ten day old daughter in a washing machine with other washing and placed it on a spin cycle, the baby girl went through most of the spin cycle after been discovered after 40 minutes by a relative. Mother Lyndsey Fiddler is thought to have mistakenly put her daughter in the machine whilst on drugs, her aunt, Rhonda Coshatt made the discovery after going round to check on Fiddler, who also has two other children.

Baby girl dies after being placed in a washing machine

When Coshatt entered the home she found Fiddler asleep, she had trouble waking her before realising the baby called Maggie May missing, when she heard a strange noise coming from the washing machine she went to investigate, opening up the top loading lid and switching it off she made the grim discovery.

In a frantic call to emergency dispatchers 26-year-old Fiddler is heard saying:”My baby is dead.” She was then heard arguing with Rhonda Coshatt who is heard on the call saying: “No I did not kill your baby, you did.”

Many of the emergency crews and police who responded to the incident were left in tears at the incident in Bartlesville, Oklahoma where they found the dead baby still inside the washing machine. A veteran police chief who attended the scene said it was the most tragic crime scene he has ever investigated, even after he had witnessed multiple murders and gangland shootings.

Lyndsey Fiddler was initially arrested on drugs charges then after an investigation revealed that the baby girl had gone through a full-spin cycle before she was discovered, Fiddler was then charged with second degree manslaughter. She has also previously been arrested in April for taking drugs when she was four months pregnant as well as a long criminal history with arrests for assault, driving without a license and not having her two older children in car seats. Her relatives had been trying to get her parental rights revoked before the birth of her third child.

Paramedic John Houser, who worked on the baby, said: ‘Terrible. I don’t even know how to describe it.’  A veteran detective taking crime scene photos of the baby at the hospital had to step outside because he was so overcome with emotion. Police chief Holland said: “I can assure you we’re not going to leave any stone unturned.”

  • well if u're too dumb and incapable to take care of your kid, then ur kid deserved it. the kid will be killed off by the parent's dumbness. that's how nature weed out the dumb, stupid genes so that they dont go on. plus, i dunno why these stupid reporters never write about what the scene looked like. was the baby all bloated and blue black or shredded in pieces or wot?! we want details!!! not how those dumb officers were crying. what's done is done. what i wanna know is, how did the baby look like? can we have a picture?

  • How sad, I will be praying for everyone involved...REST IN PEACE SWEET LITTLE GIRL... And for all the other babies who die unatural deaths from parents that try to throw thier babies away right after birth, I hope they know if they dont want thier baby they can always bring them somewere safe and the baby will be taken care of and the birth mom or dad dont have to be idenified, just bring the baby somewere safe , dont try and hide or throw your baby away, thier are many people who try to have children and cant and would love the chance to take care of a child, sometimes young adults now a days need lots of prayer and guidense...

  • This is such an awful story. And i will say, that yml1982, you are sick. Why did a ten day old baby deserve to die for its mothers stupidity and drug addiction? And as for nature weeding out the dumb. And I think you'll find that nature takes out the weak and individuals unfit for survival. Human beings have bipassed natural selection and can survive many different circumstances that would naturally kill off many of our population, hence the problems of overpopulation. And by the way you write I wouldn't class you as an intelligent person, far from it. And why would anyone who is sane and decent want to look at pictures of dead babies. In what way is that natural??? I believe you should just keep your fucked up opinions to yourself and not detress other people futher by your heartless and thoughtless words.

  • Daisy Young seems to have mixed up the names when she said that 123lps123 was heartless. He was responding to the psychotic comments by yml1982. I quit agree with what he said. Well said Samantha. I think you have voiced our feelings about that idiot. Its really sad that her relatives were unable to get legal help for those kids. Its too late for the baby now, she's with the angels, but I sincerely hope those other kids will not remain with her unless she cleans up her act permanently.
