Emmalee Thornhill's father called 911 Saturday night to report the baby was unresponsive.

Investigators have not said what led them to call the girl's death suspicious.

They say several kids, including a baby, lived there, but they are unclear as to how many adults were in the home at the time.

------------------------------------------------------

So far agents have interviewed both parents, but they aren't saying what happened - only that it is suspicious.

------------------------------------------------------

The OSBI is waiting on the medical examiners report to determine how Emmalee Thornhill died.

No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.

For what it's worth... I can't find anything new. I also cannot find a picture of Emmalee by herself to post. (Other than at birth.)
I believe there is an older sister and an older stepbrother. (4ish and 8ish maybe?)
I believe this is a family who was living very much paycheck to paycheck. Dad appears to be a machinist.

I am not sure what is suspicious about this baby's death... but I am definitely going to wait for further information.

There was a case in Utah that was "suspicious" and then the ME said it wasn't.
We had a family friend who's 8 day old baby died and her house was a crime scene for 5 days... the baby died from SIDS.

Even if it IS in Oklahoma... (my thoughts exactly Belinda) I don't want to jump to conclusions without more information.
Maybe somebody else can find more that I am not seeing? I am not good at searching court records. I just found facebooks.
