Macie Marie Silvey charged with murdering daughter

According to cops in Redding, law enforcement and emergency medical personnel in January were dispatched to the intersection of Deschutes Road at State Highway 44 regarding an unresponsive 2-year-old girl in a vehicle.

Fire and medical personnel arrived and took her by ambulance to a local hospital, but she died that evening, authorities said.

Investigators considered her death suspicious and Redding police took over the case.

“Detectives worked tirelessly over the last seven months and determined that on the day of the child’s death, the 2-year-old was deliberately provided as well as given access to prescription medication with criminal intent by her mother, Macie Marie Silvey, 21 years of Redding,” they wrote. “Despite knowing her child had consumed multiple medications and was displaying symptoms of overdosage, Silvey drove the child to a rural area of Shasta County and prevented her from receiving emergency medical aid for multiple hours.”

Cops obtained a no-bail arrest warrant against Silvey on Tuesday, charging her with both the murder and kidnapping.
