Walden told the judge she didn’t have training or help at the day care. The day care, Rocket Tiers, has since closed permanently.

Pleading guilty to first-degree murder, Walden acknowledged willfully and deliberately killing Reese. She apologized in court.

Reese’s father, Justin Bowman, says his family left their jobs and moved from Baltimore after her death.
