A Texas woman has been arrested and charged with murdering a Florida man who died in 2019, more than 35 years after she violently shook him as a baby and caused permanent disability.
Terry Delores McKirchy, 59, of Sugar Land, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge earlier this month in Broward County, where the crime took place in 1984. She is accused of killing Benjamin Keith Dowling, 35, of Bradenton.
Benjamin, who was 5 months old when he suffered devastating brain damage, died Sept. 16, 2019. McKirchy, who was babysitting the boy at the time, denied causing the injuries, according to The Associated Press.
