A woman has pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder and kidnapping of her 2-year-old daughter. On Friday, Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie A. Bridgett announced that Macie Silvey pled guilty to First-Degree Murder and Kidnapping.
On January 5, 2023, Silvey gave the child multiple prescription pills. Then, she drove her daughter on a long drive to Millville where she sat in the vehicle with her daughter until she passed away.
Following the child’s death, Silvey drove into town and pretended that the death was an accident. Silvey is scheduled to be sentenced this summer. She will reportedly be sentenced to 33 years to life in prison.
