A deranged day care worker in Minnesota with a history of making a spectacle of herself suffocated an infant to death mere days before his birthday in a desperate attempt to attract “attention,” police said.
Theah Loudemia Russell, 18, allegedly confessed to “intentionally suffocating” two children at the since-shuttered Rocking Horse Ranch day care in Savage, Minn. last fall, Savage Police Chief Brady Juell said at a press conference Wednesday.
On Sept. 22, 2025, Russell called the police to report that a young boy, later identified as 11-month-old Harvey Muklebust, was not breathing. Harvey was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly before noon.
Just two hours earlier that same morning, a young girl at the day care was also found “unresponsive and not breathing with blood around her nose and mouth.”
