While Pickett was in the Kitchen, she claims her 2 year old walked up and screamed his sisters name, she headed to the bathroom only to find her daughter face down in the bathtub, covered in burn marks across her body.
A neighbor, Jerry Burton, told police that Pickett had knocked on his door
holding her baby in her arms, asking for help.
Burton noticed that the girl
was not breathing and "had been burned to the point her skin was peeling off,"
according the arrest affidavit. Burton tried to resuscitate the toddler but was
unsuccessful. The toddler was rushed to Denver Health Medical Center, where she
was pronounced dead. SOURCE
