Cathy Henderson was convicted in the abduction and murder of three-month-old Brandon Baugh. Henderson had been babysitting the young boy and his two-and-a-half-old sister for three months prior to murder without incident.

Henderson later told police that Brandon died after she dropped him accidently on his head. She said she panicked, buried the boy and fled to Missouri, where she was later arrested.

Using a map drawn by Henderson, authorities found Brandon's body inside a cardboard box buried in a shallow grave outside of Temple on February 8. 1994. An autospy determined that Brandon died of a fractured skull.
