HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – An Evansville woman charged with neglect after her baby died has entered into a plea deal.

Loreena Nance pled guilty on Monday after being arrested back in January where officials say her six-month-old infant was found dead in his crib.

The father, Shane Hedrick, was also arrested after the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office says he admitted to hitting and injuring the child earlier that day. He is being charged with murder.

Deputies state the home was found in “deplorable conditions” where animal feces, urine and trash was found.

Nance is scheduled to be sentenced next month. Hedrick’s trial is set for September.
