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.
