Shipshewana Woman Charged with Murder, Neglect After Death of Infant
Indiana State Police say detectives gathered enough evidence in a four-month investigation to charge Chantell Cunningham with murder and neglect of a dependent causing death.
- On Wednesday, 24-year-old Chantel Cunningham was charged with murder and neglect of a dependent causing death following the April death of her infant, Greyson Lee Cunningham, in Shipshewana.
- Indiana State Police detectives began a multi-agency investigation on April 6 with the LaGrange County Coroner, Sheriff, and Shipshewana Marshal, eventually determining there was enough evidence to charge the mother.
- An autopsy revealed the infant died of multiple skull fractures, contradicting Cunningham's claim that she dropped him; police found she had not taken prescribed seizure medication for four months.
- Currently held at the LaGrange County Jail, Cunningham faces a maximum 80-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine if convicted on both Level 1 felony counts.
- Records indicate Cunningham has no prior criminal history in the Indiana Court's MyCase database, while the LaGrange Superior Court has not responded to requests for the probable cause affidavit.
