In a Facebook post, DCSO says Katheryn Ann Mills has been arrested and charged with aggravated manslaughter. Darrin Kerby Carr is charged with manslaughter and is currently being held at the Marion County Jail, where a hold has been placed for the Dixie County Sheriff's Office warrant.
Sheriff Darby Butler said,
“This is an incredibly sad and difficult case. The death of a child affects all of us, and our hearts go out to everyone who loved this child.
