Mother charged with murder in death of 3-year-old girl May 4, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail SMYRNA, Del. (AP) — A woman who was accused along with her husband of child abuse after the remains of her 3-year-old daughter were found at a softball field in Delaware is now facing murder charges, authorities said Tuesday. Attorney General Kathy Jennings said charges against Kristie Haas, 28, have been upgraded to include two counts of murder by abuse or neglect. Smyrna Police Lt. Brian Donner thanked the FBI for “expertise and resources” that made the murder charges possible. Haas and her husband, Brandon, were arrested in Pennsylvania last October following an investigation that began after the remains of a child were found at the Smyrna-Clayton Little Lass Softball fields in September 2019.
