Description

Newly released bodycam footage shows Albuquerque mother Edith Estrada Sigala sobbing as she tells police she put her 7-month-old son in a steamy bath to help his pneumonia, then allegedly fell asleep and later found him unresponsive. First responders initially treated the case as a tragic accident, but investigators grew suspicious after noticing inconsistencies in her story, water left in the tub, and possible signs she had been drinking before a tense late-night interrogation. Edith was ultimately arrested and charged in her infant’s death, and she is fighting the case ahead of a trial scheduled for March 2026. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart is On the Case.

Grandma quite literally does not know what to do with herself, she wants to beat her daughter, jump over that railing and get to that baby all at once. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I could not imagine the rage. Her poor husband trying to hold them all together.

Having to be a first responder and working on a baby that doesn't make it has to be one of the worst things

The way her mom wouldn’t console her tells me everything I need to know about this woman’s lifestyle and habits

Very telling the grandma not comforting the “mom” her daughter. It’s also heartbreaking when she’s screaming in Spanish “let me in if he sees me he will wake up.” He loved grandma =(

The way the grandma said “ you need to let me see him because if he knows I’m there maybe he” just broke my heart.

Searched her name and the only info found is: Sigala is currently out of jail, awaiting her trial, which is preliminarily slated for May 2026. She is not allowed to drink or be alone with any children under 18.
