NEW PORT RICHEY - It was nearly 20 years ago that 2-month-old Christina Ann Wells' young parents took the infant to a hospital, her tiny body bruised and broken.
She survived. The parents went to jail.
In the years that followed, Christina was given a new family, a new name - Christina Marie Welch - and a new life.
She never completely healed, physically or mentally.
Her death at age 19 in March - ruled a homicide in May - is raising more questions about the shaken baby syndrome she suffered almost two decades before.
Pasco County sheriff's officials announced Friday that the agency is investigating whether the injuries from years ago caused her recent death, after the autopsy in May determined the cause to be complications from blunt-force trauma.
"We have no evidence at this point that there was any recent abuse
