Oklahoma County Judge Scott Brockman told Vreeland of her right to a reasonable bond and an attorney but ended the call denying her bond.
State attorneys spoke out on the case as well, asking for two more business days to gather evidence and press charges on those complaints. The state says Vreeland, who had custody of her grandchildren, may have murdered Riley and covered up her death.
Vreeland stayed quiet during the hearing, only shaking her head. The state claims they found damage in the house consistent with blunt-force trauma, and signs of blood. They say Vreeland’s story isn’t consistent with Riley’s injuries.

Brockman said Vreeland will have another hearing once charges are filed. For now, the allegations were enough to set no bond.
The state also mentioned that the girl “may have been a target child” for Vreeland.
