Ok, I am going to break down this article as it seems the most coherent and here is what is reported:
Victim: Tenielle, a 3 year old baby girl
Arrested: Mom Mary Leider (ML), (Tenielle’s mother) who is charged with throwing her daughter from a moving vehicle.
Brother W: who was driving truck (owned by Mary L) when ML threw child from truck
Brother A: was in back seat of truck, arguing with Brother W before the crime
Grandma GD : Tenielle’s grandmother, ML and Brother A (but apparently not mom of Brother W)
Around 4 am on December 4th, 2012, 3 adult sibling (Mary L, Brother A and Brother W) were riding around in a truck owned by Mary but driven by brother W. Apparent the Grandmother of Tenielle (Grandma GD) was calling the trio and trying to get the child back home but the group was not responding and continued to drink, drive around and argue.
Then Mom (ML) has Tennielle who is quietly on her mom’s lap, Mom simply opens the door and dumps the child out. Driving Brother W stops the vehicle, they find the child who is deceased and Brother W takes child, puts her in back seat of truck and leaves scene (mile Marker 11), while Mom (ML) and Brother A are left stranded by the side of the road. An officer responded to the scene of these 2 and ML said her baby was “gone” and that she had been hit by a vehicle.
Then officer hears call for scene at Mile Marker 19 (8 miles away, I presume) for a call about a deceased 3 year old child. He goes to scene and find Grandma GD and Brother W (who was the driver of truck at time of baby throwing). Brother D took the officer to the vehicle where Little Tennielle lay dead in the backseat.
Brother D reported that he, ML and Brother A had been “partying” and had taken Tennielle along. Grandma GD tried to get in touch with them to get Tennielle home but was not successful so she was driving around searching when she came upon her daughter’s on the road being driven by Brother W who told her something was wrong with Tennielle.
Grandma GD saw the baby in the backseat ans she was not breathing and not responsive. Brother W told her that ML had thrown the child from the truck. Grandma GD calls 911 and put the baby in HER car.
ML claimed Brother made her hit head on the dash prior to the incident and doesn’t remember how child was injured. She alternated between saying “I killed my baby” and then trying to claim they were in a vehicular accident. She was brought to the hospital where her Blood Alcohol Level was shown to be .24 (legal limit is usually .08, not sure what this state has).
Truck was thoroughly examined and tested and all doors were functioning properly and it had NOT been in any accident prior to the child’s death. The FBI is involved with the investigation and ML faces up to life in prison and $250,000 fine and 5 years of supervised release.
I took my facts from this link which seems to be the most coherent and fact filled.

I feel like I am just repeating myself but I am trying to make some sense of it. Ultimately it will not make sense but I have a grip on who was where and that this indeed seems to be no accident, that mom purposefully threw Tennielle from the truck to her death.
Correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I need all the help I can get.
