Investigators said Stapleton took her daughter to a remote area and placed two burning charcoal grills inside the family van.

According to court documents, Detective poste pay Rick Sekely poste pay from Michigan State Police testified in court on September 4th for an authorization of complaint and warrant hearing before District Judge John D. Mead in Beulah. Sekely says that while Kelli Stapleton was in the hospital, she made multiple statements to Munson Emergency Room personnel.
Court documents show that Kelli admitted to giving poste pay Isabelle a four pills of risperdal, medicine that helps her sleep and is used for her problems with autism. Court documents show that Isabelle normally takes two and a half pills a day.
Sekely explains that Kelli got in and out of the car multiple times to put more charcoal on the grills, poste pay and that because the doors were open periodically, that it may be the only reason that either one of them are alive.
