GERING, Neb. (AP) — Nearly five years after the death of a 2-year-old girl, a grand jury in the Nebraska Panhandle has indicted the girl’s mom and her boyfriend.

KNEB reports that special prosecutor Jim Zimmerman charged Dustin Chauncey with child abuse resulting in death and manslaughter for his role in Juliette Geurts’ death.

The girl’s mother, Charyse Geurts, is charged with interfering with the investigation and providing false information to police.

Juliette Geurts died in her Gering home in July 2008. Charyse Geurts said she found the girl dead in her crib.

An autopsy showed the girl died because of trauma, so police investigated her death as a homicide.

But the case languished without arrests until a petition drive last year gathered enough signatures to force the grand jury.
