The Houston woman used an ammonia-soaked towel to suffocate the child to death in what authorities called an 'unthinkable' abuse case.
Prosecutors say there was never a doubt that they would not get the murder charge eventually. They were already working with strong evidence.
According to court documents, Davis texted the child's father and told him she was going to discipline the girl because she had wet herself. Further searching through Davis' phone records detailed even more about what she allegedly did to her stepdaughter. "She's looking up Google searches on how to deal with ammonia bruises, whether or not someone can inhale ammonia, and how to treat that," said Sawtelle.
