A federal grand jury has determined there is enough evidence to charge a woman from Kyle with First Degree Murder and Felony Child Abuse and Neglect.
Billie Jean Red Owl, age 34, pleaded not guilty to the Indictment.
The charges relate to Red Owl engaging in a pattern of child abuse, including failing to provide sufficient food and hydration and medical care to her child, who was under the age of seven years, in 2020 at Kyle. This abuse resulted in the death of the child.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
The investigation is being conducted by the FBI.
A trial date has been set for August 23, 2022.
