The biological father and stepmother of a 3-year-old girl from Logan County have been indicted on counts of first-degree murder and child abuse.
The child, Alexis Rose McClain, was taken to Sterling Regional Medical Center on July 8 suffering from critical injuries, according to the Logan County Sheriff’s Office. She was transferred to Children’s Hospital and died the next day.
Ginger Weeks, 34, and Mark Weeks, 27, are being held at the Logan County Detention Center, Sterling, without bail.
Monday’s indictment alleges that the injuries suffered by the child occurred over the course of nearly 10 months — between October 2009 and early July.
Lt. Joseph McBride of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office said Ginger Weeks and Mark Weeks lived in California before coming to Colorado.
