Las Vegas boy’s death ruled a homicide, months after mom charged

More than eight months after Daniel Theriot’s mother, along with her boyfriend, was charged with murder, the Clark County coroner’s office officially ruled that the 3-year-old’s death was a homicide.
The coroner’s office on Thursday said Daniel died from blunt force trauma....
[.....]
Smith eventually led investigators to Daniel’s body, where she and Oxford had placed him in a “large white fiberglass shell of an apparent appliance” in a remote area near the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
[.....]
The two remained in the Clark County Detention Center on Thursday without bail, jail records show. They also face a charge of child abuse in a case involving Smith’s 2-year-old son.
