Texas couple charged in death of child left overnight in car
HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities say they've charged a Houston-area couple in the death of their 2-year-old daughter for leaving the child overnight in their car after returning from a party.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement Friday that Olga Esquivel and Angel Esquivel-Blanco, both 25 and from Humble, are charged with abandoning a child.
Alicia Esquivel died of heat exposure in September after being left in the car for about 12 hours.
Olga Esquivel told investigators they returned from the party about midnight and she helped her intoxicated husband inside, where they both fell asleep.
