Her sister’s strange behavior on the day of the child’s death raised suspicions, and she has been accused of abusing other children as well. The child’s father Mario was a suspect, and his wife has been implicated in helping him cover up his alleged crime.

But there was not enough evidence against him to proceed. All that was known for sure is the child’s cause of death: cerebral trauma. Steve Wilkos asked the tough questions on September 2 to get to the bottom of this horrific case.

Steve wondered why the parents did not notice there was something wrong with the child. The autopsy report concluded that someone had been shaking the baby on more than one occasion, including several weeks before the child’s death. Why did the parents not notice any of these injuries? Mario claimed that the pediatricians missed all the signs.

Mario was furious at Erin, his sister-in-law, whom he suspected was responsible. Of course, her own sister was also distraught and outraged. They both think Erin is lying.

Steve Wilkos went off on Mario, saying that he should have been more attentive to his child, no matter what the doctors had to say in their reports or examinations. Then it was time to get the polygraph results.

Erin was telling the truth: she has nothing to do with her nephew’s death. Erin’s sister also told the truth and was not to blame. As for Mario, he refused to take the polygraph test before the show, despite his intentions to know the truth.
