Overview

  • Destiny Campos, 21, and Jeremy Fancher, 38, were arrested on June 21, 2025, in Harris County and booked on murder charges in connection with the death of their 4-month-old daughter, Brookelynn Fancher.
  • Brookelynn was discovered unresponsive inside a dresser drawer at a Days Inn in west Houston on May 26, 2024, and was pronounced dead at 1:11 p.m. after first responders attempted life-saving measures.
  • According to court documents, Fancher allegedly placed the infant in the drawer and sealed its edges with a towel to quiet her cries on multiple occasions.
  • A hotel housekeeper had previously alerted management and provided a photograph showing the baby confined in the drawer but was met with dismissive remarks from Campos.
  • Investigators deemed the death suspicious with no obvious external injuries, prompting a prolonged probe that culminated in the murder charges.
