Two Whitley County Women Indicted on Murder, Meth Charges in Child’s July Death
Prosecutors cite extreme-indifference conduct tied to a July 4 pool incident, leading to $1 million cash bonds.
Overview
- A Whitley County grand jury returned indictments on Dec. 15 charging Robin L. Siler and Jasmine S. Siler with murder, first-degree possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
- The indictments allege the defendants acted individually or in complicity under circumstances showing extreme indifference to human life that created a grave risk of death.
- Prosecutors say the alleged conduct occurred on or about July 4, 2025, in Whitley County, and court documents identify the child only by the initials "L.M."
- Court records set a $1 million cash bond for each defendant.
- Earlier reporting identified the 16-month-old found unresponsive in a home swimming pool as Lucas Mattie, and authorities say the case remains under investigation with additional court proceedings expected.
