The Springfield Police Department is investigating the death of an infant, whose body was found  at a home Monday night.Springfield
Police Lt. Kevin Grizzell confirmed Tuesday that the investigation
involved a 2-month-old child at a house in the 2000 block of N.
Prospect Street.Grizzell said the department's Criminal Investigation division was handling the inquiry, but declined to provide more details.A
police incident report obtained by the News-Leader shows officers
interviewed at least six people, including Daniel and Ashley Drake, who
were listed as parents of the deceased child.

UPDATED 10-21-09 819 a.m.:
Lt. David Millsapsays that it appears there was no foul play in Sondra Drakes death.
However, he says charges could be filed against the little girls parents
for the filthy living conditions that she and her three siblings were
living in.

Greene County assistant medical examiner Tom Van De Berg says his office is waiting on microscopic and toxicology evidence to determine a cause of death.

i posted a comment to see if there is an update to the story -

so i am wondering if that is really the mother of the baby who is wanting her other children (apparently they were taken out of the home due to the conditions?)

i wonder if that is the mom posting?

I believe it is the mother.

The fact that this person is so obviously "uneducated" in the English language (but may be really good at texting), it is a bit hard to tell.
After reading all the posts, it is safe to say it is the same person posting; whether it is just the mother or someone posting statements for the mother and themselves…??

I am curious. In October 2009 it is stated that they are waiting for certain test results; January 2010 the poster asks about the results; July 2010 still not resolved... should this raise eyebrows?
