I'm pretty sure this is the only thread for this case now, but if I am posting in the wrong place, someone please throw something soft at me.

From this article: "“Mitchell explained what he termed ‘crib days.’ He explained that crib days were days where (Ruby) remained in her crib all day while he worked. He claimed this would occur one to two days per week,” but he claimed he would check on her two or three times during the day, the affidavit alleges."

I know the wheels of justice turn slowly, but I'm really looking forward to these parents having "crib days" of their own. Hopefully a lifetime of them.

He worked online doing what to make money?
He had a wife that worked as a nurse and more than likely she was basically the sole breadwinner.

What the heck took 8 1/2 months to arrest these evil sadists when they had the evidence from the baby monitor?
imo

Well, how long did the baby monitor store video? Was it deletable? Warrants for private video + recovering any potential deleted video could take awhile. Time for a complete autopsy to rule out any other cause and time to check for circumstantial evidence. That's what I'm hoping, anyway. More evidence, not because they didn't have enough.

Still... 8 months is a long time. Almost half of this poor child's life.

Even with all the immediate available evidence showing how Ruby was abused causing her death it still took LE almost 9 months to charge the parent with Ruby's murder so it wouldn't surprise me if ongoing internal dissension was involved because the evidence against the parents was crystal clear.
Thankfully in the end the correct legal and moral decision prevailed to charge them.

Ruby's obituary lists an extended family so was Ruby somehow isolated from them?
Did the parents not associate with family members?
Was Ruby not taken to church if/when the parents attended?

These child abuse/death tragedies bring up the question, and rightfully so, who in the family/friends saw Ruby and did anyone think/know something was wrong with her, how she looked and/or how she was treated?
Did they see that something was very concerning and said nothing or saw something and said something to a parent(s) but didn't follow through with contacting CPS/LE?

Also the Murrays have a 4 yr old son.
Where was he when CM worked?
If he was home with the sadistic father a 4 yr old can certainly do a lot of constant interrupting when daddy is gaming online, especially if being ignored.

Did CPS open an investigation on the parents after Ruby's death?
Where did CM work as a nurse?
Did she have access to hospital patients and if so "angel of mercy " comes to mind.
Was employee child care offered where she worked?

IMO:

In the last 24 hours of her mostly cribbed life, Baby Ruby's parents spend only 49 seconds with her.

So awful, beyond awful.

WTF did I just read??? OMG WHY even have children? That poor sweet baby and her big brother, the 4 year old, at least he is alive I suppose but my God what kind of home was this for children, warehoused out of sight out of mind babysat by green day and fallout boy via Alexa. Jesus Wept.

The only mystery is what took so long to file charges against this pair of super parents?
