Overview

  • Anna M. Adamo, 59, was arrested in Georgia on Oct. 3, extradited to Florida, and now faces charges including attempted first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and poisoning.
  • Doctors determined the 11-month-old had ethylene glycol poisoning; the child went into cardiac arrest, required life support, and has since been discharged with long-term effects still unknown.
  • Forensic toxicologist Dr. Bruce Goldberger analyzed medical data and concluded the ingestion occurred while the infant was in Adamo’s care, according to court documents.
  • A search of Adamo’s home uncovered two antifreeze containers in the garage, including one opened jug missing roughly two to nearly three cups of fluid.
  • Court records detail a 2014 investigation into a similar alleged incident with no charges filed, which authorities say could be used to support the current case as evidence testing continues.
