'Concerned' Mom Called 911 Because Her Daughter Wouldn't Wake Up. Investigators Suspected Foul Play

A Michigan mother is charged with murder after her 2-year-old daughter was found dead on Thursday, Nov. 7.

WWMT, WSBT and Sturgis Journal reported that Paige Bohne, 21, was arrested and charged with open murder by authorities in St. Joseph County, Mich., who accuse her of killing her daughter, Octavia.

Bohne called 911 on Thursday to report that Octavia was unresponsive, WWMT reported, citing a police spokesperson.

“She seemed concerned,” St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office Detective Sgt. Jason Auton told the outlet. “Her 2-year-old daughter was not awake.”

Auton also told the outlet the baby’s cause of death has not been revealed, but that responding deputies suspected foul play after arriving on scene.

It is not immediately clear if Bohne has entered a plea or retained an attorney.

Bohne’s parents spoke to WWMT and expressed their shock at the charges filed against their daughter.

“I am used to being able to fix everything in my world and I feel helpless, and I just can’t fix it,” Charles Bohne told the station.
