A Georgia couple, Rafael Pedron Wynn (30) and Kerri Dysart (28), were arrested Sept. 24 and charged with second-degree murder in the death of their 2-year-old daughter, Nevaeh Wynn. Officers responded May 3 to an unresponsive child; Nevaeh was later pronounced dead at Piedmont Rockdale Hospital. A search of the home reportedly uncovered used nitrous oxide canisters and an empty kratom container, and the DeKalb County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. Both parents are jailed without bond as the investigation continues.
